16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
I have been blessed to know a couple of people who exemplify verses 22 and 23. They are ‘apart’ from the world. They probably don’t even know who they are. But I do. God has blessed me with a heart that recognizes them. Because I am so earthly (unfortunately), I just want to wrap them in cotton and bubble wrap to protect them. I don’t have to – God has them.
