Two Wolves



A Cherokee elder was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, a terrible fight between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, hatefulness, lust, and lies.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, friendship, generosity, faith, and truth.

This same fight is going on inside of you and in all people."

The children thought about it for a minute. Then one child asked his grandfather,

"Which wolf will win?"

The elder replied, "The one you feed."

Galatians 5:24,25

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
