"LET'S COOK SOMETHING"

Cook?
If I’m in this page is to listen or read something about God, and,
certainly not about cooking!
Calm down my friend, we will talk about God, but first tell me:
How good a food would it taste if for example a chunk of beef
is placed in a pot with water, and boil it without any condiments,
no salt, pepper, onions, or vegetables? Just meat and water!
Oh, it would taste awful, anybody knows that, but you said that
you were going to talk about God and not about food!
Yes! It’s true! Listen:
The fruits of the Spirit are nine: Love, Joy, Peace, Long suffering,
Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and Temperance.
Galatians 5-22.
People are like meat and water, just like the pot we were cooking
without all the necessary ingredients to have a good taste,
and be nutritious.
But, what all these things have to do with the fruits of the Spirit?
Look: A person without them is as cold as ice, insensitive, without
peace, patience, or faith, insecure, unfriendly, without self control,
without love for God or others, he is like a pot of meat cooked
just with water, tasteless, and so sour and bitter, that nobody wants
to get close to him.
Listen: Hate is the opposite of Love, sadness the opposite of Joy.
Faith is the opposite of doubt, which makes us insecure, unable
to reach what we always are following.
The opposite of Peace is an interior war within us, fighting to
stabilize our boat to keep it from sinking.
The opposite of Longsuffering (Patience) is desperation,
It is to try to finish something we have never started.
The opposite of Gentleness and Goodness is evil doing,
is to have the desire to curse, and hurt people.
The opposite of Meekness (Humbleness) is Pride, Haughtiness,
is to think we are far better that any other person.
