God’s Spirit Within

Let me make this perfectly clear: if you listen to God’s Spirit within, you will seek to please him and to benefit others, not to satisfy your selfish desires. If your self-serving motives oppose what the Holy Spirit wants to do, you will live in conflict, not fulfilling the purpose you feel called to. — Galatians 5:16–17 The Discussion Bible

Let me make this as clear as a bell in the breeze:
If you follow God’s Spirit, your heart will find peace.
You won’t chase desires that puff up your pride,
You’ll care for the others who walk by your side.

The Spirit says “Love” while your self says “Me first.”
One leads to blessing, the other? The worst.
They tug and they pull like a rope in a fight,
But only one path will lead you to the light.

When you listen inside and you follow what’s true,
You’ll know what is right in the things that you do.
But if selfish desires start to block Heaven’s view,
You’ll feel torn in two, not sure what to do.

So don’t let your ego sit up on the throne.
God’s Spirit will guide you. You’re never alone.
Say yes to his whisper and say no to the fuss,
And you’ll live with his purpose, his power, his trust.
