Have you ever heard someone say, “Well, that’s just the way God made me.”? We’ve all heard this a time or two, especially in our Christian circles. It seems like “this is the way God made me” is the biggest excuse to act anyway you want. People seem to forget that you have a choice in how you react to what life throws at you. Just because you were brought up in bad circumstances, your Dad was a jerk, or life has thrown you a few curves, doesn’t give you a free pass to act any way you want to.
As believers we are called to display the fruits of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. (Gal. 5:22). We are made NEW in Christ (2 Cor 5:17) so we need to throw off our old butt hole attitudes and replace them with the fruits of the spirit.
