It's tempting to go to the store, head to the producesection, pick up a fruit, and then start judging it by its appearance. But what's wrong in this situation is that the appearance of the fruit speaks for itself.

There's no need to judge it. And so it is with people. We often look at people, judge them, and make ourselves feel and look superior to them. The part we're missing is that knowledge of the fruit(behavior, energy, dysfunctionalpatterns of behavior, attitudes, and disposition does not equal to judging it.

Once we see what it is we're working with, we can decide whether or not we want this fruit in our basket of living. Listen in to part one of this message and be blessed.

We hear the term control freak all the time. What we don't hear about is the bondage that this spirit/addiction brings you. It interrupts the natural order of how you relate to yourself, others, and God by keeping you in a constant state of rules, bondage, reinforcement, and micromanagement. #control #controlfreak #addiction
