—James 3:13-18
by: Paula Davis.
It can be so easy to point a finger at others who are obviously sowing seeds of bitterness, jealousy, and selfish ambition and pretend that I am not planting those same seeds. Even if that were true on the outside (and it definitely is not always), what about the things planted in my heart? If I dwell on anything that is not pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy and good fruits, I am planting seeds that have no place in the heart of one claiming to follow Jesus. The right kind of spirit brings a harvest of righteousness, inside and out, when we choose to make peace a priority.
