Self Control

Here are some hints on how to keep in step with the Holy Spirit in regard to self control. Remember that we can't produce the fruit ourselves
Remain in Christ and Fruit Happens!!!

I will PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY -   Cry out to God to make you more self controlled
                 He is loving and will give to those who ask!!!
I will not act impulsively
I will not equate desires with rights
I will set my own limits
I will see anger as a sign when something is wrong
I will walk away from things that are not right

Faith & Doubt

As I reflect on the fruit of faithfulness in my life I more and more feel like the the man in Mark 9 who cries out - "I do belive, help me overcome my unbelief"
Day in day out is my test to opt - for God and not opt out.
Each day the world seeks to errode my faith 
But the more I doubt - the more search out my doubt  - the more I am thrown back into the loving arms of a wonderful creator, a gracious father, and a loving shepherd.

Holy Spirit come and fill me with faith - help me to produce firut of faithfulness.

Today - I choose to Remain in Him - As he has promised that He is ever faithful
