GALATIANS 5:16–25
Self-control is a challenging skill to master, often overcoming bad habits, bad attitudes, or wrong mindsets. Despite making promises to improve and seeking accountability, many people feel they lack the will or ability to change. Despite talking, planning, and reading self-help books, many find it difficult to overcome and control their inner thoughts and behaviours.
God understands our weaknesses and offers remedies. The Bible outlines the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To gain self-control, surrender to the Holy Spirit, trusting in the Lord rather than in oneself. This is what Paul calls “walking by the Spirit.”
Are you ready for a change? God is within you, so you are capable of change. When you give Him authority, He will assist you in producing fruit that reflects His image.
