Born Of Flesh And Spirit

This realm is a realm of change - physical change and spiritual change:

  1. Physical Change: We're born of flesh, we start off as babies and we grow and develop.
  2. Spiritual Change: We're born of spirit, our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. When this happens, we start off as babies and we grow and develop.
Jesus said, "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." (John 3:6, NIV)

This realm is a realm of change, growth and development. You're not supposed to come here, park in one place and be comfortable. You're expected to grow in more ways than one.

If you're experiencing pressure in your life - at home, work, etc., then the forces of Nature are pushing you to develop. 

Use this pressure as an opportunity to cry out to The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He's the only one who can change your internal qualities from selfishness to bestowal, so ask Him to help you and He will. But you have to ask. He won't do it unless you ask. So ask.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
