For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7
As we mature in Christ we become more like Him. We learn to love like Him, think like Him, react like Him. My hot blooded old self used to never hold back on what I thought and my mouth would often get me into trouble. I learned as I grew in God's image that I was not being "cool" when I acted that way but rather "unholy". I know I am far from perfect but I also know the Lord has taken me a long way and has done great work in me. And for that He gets all the glory, not me. I am just thankful I am learning self control. A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. Proverbs 25:28 It is not easy for me but I am asking Him everyday to help me. Is there an area in your life that you struggle with? Why don't you give it to God and ask Him to help you with it? He is always there with us and for us and there is nothing we cannot bring to His altar. Thank you Lord for always being there for your children.
