Amy turned the corner of the grocery aisle. She almost ran into the cart of her best friend. " Hi Elaine".
" Hi". Her friend put a large bag of cookies on a shelf. " I almost bought that large bag of cookies".
" What's wrong?".
" Stress at work". She put a bag of coffee into her cart. " Sometimes I feel like buying something that I shouldn't".
Amy grinned. " Did you know that self control is a fruit of the Spirit?".
Elaine put a box of cereal into her cart. " No, I did not know that".
" Self control starts at the heart of the soul". Her voice hesitated. " And makes up the character of a person".
" The heart of a soul".
Amy smiled. " Self control is the motive of the soul".
Elaine thought for a moment. " So my heart can go either good or bad".
" That's right". She hugged her best friend. " God wants our motives and thoughts to be pleasing to him".
