GALATIANS 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
A friend of mine was expressing an extreme amount of anger earlier this week and it hit me. He no longer controlled his anger. His anger was controlling him.
Sometimes I don't think we truly appreciate the meaning of self-control. When we do not control ourselves by the power of the Holy Spirit, someone or something else is controlling us. Don't let that happen. Don't allow an outside force to destroy your relationships, families and lives. Surrender your hurt, unforgiveness and anger to God. By the power of God, let the fruit of the Spirit grow and let Christ in you take control.
God bless
