Even if (part 2)

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."      

                                     - Eleanor Roosevelt 


We are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights that cannot be stripped away.  


We are also blessed at birth with the fruit of the Spirit, which cannot be vanquished unless you yourself vanquish it.  


For “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”    

                                - Galatians 5:22-23


We were made wholly free of original sin through the sacrifice of Christ, and we become separated and broken from Christ, the Holy Spirit, our original self, and humanity when we forsake and commit crimes of sin.  


The sinful delude themselves into believing that being able to cause harm, destroy people in brokenness, is more powerful than innocence, wholesomeness, unbroken by sin. But how can broken pieces be greater than the whole?


How can anyone see clearly through the broken prism of a diaspora of maladies in fear, hate, and sin?


No one can take from you the fruit of the Spirit, the essence of you, within you, without your consent.


Therefore, even if someone tries to change you, you cannot be changed unless you allow it.
