Engineered By Christ

A spoon full of sugar may help the medicine go down, but Ella-girl
​ ​
(Grand #1) will tell you
it
​ ​
makes her wild! 
​​
Consider this profound truth:
​ ​
God is the source of Godly fruits.  "The fruit of the Spirit is love,
​ ​
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such
​ ​
thins there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23.  Try as we will, we cannot manufacture patience – it
​ ​
eventually wears thin and out; we cannot produce peace – eventually a warring spirit
​ ​
emerges
​​
;
​ ​
we cannot control self – eventually all control is lost.
​ ​

The benefits and risks of GMOs (genetically
​ ​
modified organisms) is debated.  While things occurring outside of nature
​ ​
are suspect, there is nothing suspicious about what is
spiritually modified by Almighty God.  Left
​ ​
to ourselves
​, ​
we
​ ​
cannot
​ ​
bear Godly fruit; we bear only fruit
​produced
from the natural-sinful man: hate, hostility and such as fill
​ ​
daily news feeds.
​ ​
Much like
​ ​
too much sugar
​ ​
for
​ ​
Ella
​​
,
​ ​
life apart from God
​ ​
carries huge risks
​ ​
- actually, it's deadly
​​
.  "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the
​ ​
desires of the flesh." (Galatians 3:16).  When we are
​​
spiritually engineered by Christ, the fruits
​ ​
of His Spirit emerge and we walk accordingly with The Father and with others.
​ It's a good question to ask ourselves:of the fruit in my life, who's the engineer?
