Galatians 5 :19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Isn't it strange how the fruits of the spirit and the acts of sinful nature are right beside each other? God knows that you're gonna need help doing the right things, so he gets Paul who puts a list of of the bad things, then how to counter them. God is not just going to leave us on our own. we need to trust him to put us where we need to be. Our hearts are kind of like a messed up X - box controlor. Our bodies are the person inside the screen. Sometimes when an X - box controler is messed up, it wont go the way you want it to. So God has to work on fixing us up untill we obey and trust him. So, don't be a messed up X - box controller today.You probably won't end up enjoying it.
