[:en]Among the Fruit of the Spirit, the most difficult one for me is “self-control”. I cannot control my time spent in facebook. I cannot control my eating appetite. Sometimes I cannot control my temper. And according to Paul, the only way to gain self-control is by allowing the Holy Spirit to control us. Paul used the phrase “walk by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16) – that is surrendering ourselves and trusting our lives to the Lord.
Let us submit to God and ask Him to fill us with His Spirit. Let us ask Him to control us.[:]
