Side Effects

 

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

Galatians 5:16-17

Lately many peoples attention has turned to the new Covid 19 vaccine released wondering if there were side effects. Also medicine labels often give you possible side effects.

There is another side effect that is wonderful and it is love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, and self control when you walk in the Spirit and stay close to God and don’t walk in the flesh. During this time of being closed in would be a great time to concentrate on being a good family member,spouse, and friend. Call people, FaceTime, zoom.

2021 has many new things in store and hopefully not as major an impact as 2020. Lean into God and trust Him. In good times and bad He cares for you. Let your side effects be joy, kindness, and love as you pursue Christ in 2021.

PRAYER: I am grateful for another year to share the love of Christ with others and to seek peace and pursue it.In Jesus’ name. Amen.
