A Fork in the Road

Residing in our brains there lives two entry doors. 

The first opens with a welcome sign; for there is rest in the Lord's path. 

The second is closed saying, "scat like a cat, you're not welcome!" It seems it would be logical that we should not be drawn to this wallowing passage. However, the devil is alluring; he intrigues us with this door, even if it stands with a knowledge that we should not proceed down such an avenue.  

We need to scurry up the Heavenly Father’s road, for it bestows a steadiness and the characteristics of the fruits of the spirit. When life revolves around God, and you hear and obey His calling, these qualities will abound. 

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry[...] and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,  gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Galatians 5:19-23
