Flesh and Spirit

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. Galatians 5:16‭-‬17 NIV

The hubby and I were just talking about this today. I am about to embark in a new job which is still somewhat in the field I've been in but I will miss the community I have grown to love. But in order for me to grow I need to move on. It's what's best for my family because it's not about me. It's about our future and what we want out of life. It's not about me. It's about where God wants me in preparing me for my future with him. It's not about mr. It's about preparing my children to chase their dreams. It's not about me.

Because me is flesh and the flesh cannot co-exist with the spirit. I must die to myself and live for God. That is how we ensure our eternity with him. I must die to myself so that I don't desire what the flesh desires. I think that's why as we get older material things mean less and less because we see the value in time.

God sees the value in us. Don't let what you want taint his view. Want after God and he will give you your desires. It's a win-win. Because remember: it's not about you.
