YES & NO

When we say “yes” to anger, frustration, envy, selfishness, self-pity, complaining, grumbling, and hopelessness, we are saying “no” to God and “yes” to Satan [read Ephesians 4:16].  When we say “yes” to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control we are saying “yes’ to God and “no” to the Satan [read James 4:7].  These are a “yes” to God that produces in your life the fruit of God’s Spirit [read Galatians 5:22-23].  You will be saying “yes” to faith, hope and love with the greatest of these being love - an intentional act of caring with deep affection [read 1 Corinthians 13:13].  Therefore, be mindful of what you are saying “yes” to in the details of your moment by moment living for every action you take (including your reactions and responses) and decision you make is a “yes” that is a “no” to something and someone else.
