Are You Really What You Say That You Are

Galatians 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another (by participating in partisan strife], be careful that you and your whole fellowship are not destroyed by one another. The circle that binds us together is never destroyed by what is going on the outside of us, but by that which is happening from within first to divide then to conquer.  When there is destruction we often look at fruit of our action, instead what is at root or the catalyst for our action and take a personal responsibility.  But to begin to progressively heal what is wrong within us any negativity must be cut off at the root. 16 But I say, walk and live faithfully in the Holy Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. I have always wondered if as many of us really love the Lord like we say that we do then why so much confusion and strife among us even in the body of Christ. Remember you are in this world but we are not to be of the world as a believer. So what would happen to the world if we really believed that we were each other's keeper and we needed each other's success to survive. Instead of embracing a culture where everything is becoming increasingly more selfish only concerned about me and mine. I challenge you today, to be the change that you want to see in the world. Powerful and effective change always begins with the power of one, ourselves.
