Tuscaloosa, Are You Ready For A Change?
Self-control is perhaps the hardest things to master. How often have you been defeated by a bad habit, a lousy attitude, or a nasty mindset? You make promises to improve. You ask someone to hold you accountable. However, deep inside, you know that you really do not possess the will nor the ability to change. You can talk, plan, read self-help books, but still find it difficult to overcome and control many of the things that are inside you!
God knows our weakness, and He also knows the remedy! The Bible says, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23). The only way to realize self-control is by allowing the Holy Spirit to control you. Our main focus is not effort but surrender to live moment by moment submissively trusting in the Lord rather than in self.
Are you really ready for a change? You can change, for God is in you. As you surrender control to Him, He will assist you hear the fruit of His likeness.
