Pull Back the Curtains
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such, there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV
One of my favorite things about a hotel room is the heavy curtains that oftentimes hang in front of the windows. They allow you to sleep in longer, blocking the light from spilling in.
It’s easy to lose track of time with such heavy curtains, however. You open your eyes and it’s so dark in the room. You think to yourself, “It can’t be later than 4 or 5 in the morning”, until that is, someone goes and pulls back the curtains causing instant blindness to everyone inside! You look at the clock on the table which reads 9:30, what?!!!
You ever catch yourself praying for more patience? more faith? peace? You ever say something like this: “Oh God! give me the patience to deal with so and so?”
If so, don’t fret, you’re not alone! :)
However, I have good news for you! Pull back the curtain, you already have it, all the patience, peace, faith, goodness, self-control, you will ever need.
You may not feel it. It might not look like it. But you have them! They are probably just hidden behind some heavy curtains. :) Listen, the Word of God is described as a lamp unto our feet and a light onto our path. (Psalm 119:105) The more Word we allow in our lives, the more light we allow into our lives, and in turn, the more of Him we allow in our lives! :)
When we pull back the curtains and allow the Word to spill into our rooms, (our hearts), impatience has to flee! Unforgiveness has to go! Anger has to subside!
It’s really a simple matter of replacing old ways of thinking and doing with the Word!
If you are a born-again believer, the Spirit of God dwells on the inside of you! You have the fruit of the Spirit! Claim it, speak it, draw them out by pulling back the curtains and allowing the Word to get into every nook and cranny of your life!
This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and you won’t gratify the desires of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16)
Pull back the curtains and allow the Word to wash over you today cleaning you, refining you, renewing you! :)
