I checked out the movie Hidden Figures. It was a great movie. I don't want to ruin it for any one who plans to go see it but I will tell you this it made me angry. I hate prejudice. It is unfair and hurtful. Most people would shy away from mentioning this in Blog but I believe we need to remember our past so we don't repeat it. I encourage you to go see the movie.

God created us all equal. Love doesn't see gender, color, or nationality it simply loves. The fruit of the Spirit is Love.
Galatians 5:22-23 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)22 But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,23 Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [[a]that can bring a charge].
The sins of the flesh are Galations 5:19-21 (NIV)
"19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
So the choice is ours. Will we display the fruit of the Spirit or will we act out of the flesh? Our actions will determine our ultimate destiny for eternity. Our actions will let others know what spirit we are of. In order to act out of our reborn spirit we need to be connected to the right life source.
Good trees produce good fruit.
Matthew 7:17 (NIV) "Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit."
