a cup: a cup of self control

a cup: a cup of self control by ric Gustafson


When my temper gets the better of me, an alarm inside goes off. I have anxiety, my blood pressure rises and I feel detached from God. Trying to control my emotions myself does not work. Trying to do this on our own leaves us unsatisfied.
Jesus says rely on me. Jesus says rely on me instead of yourself. We are called to a life in faith. Instead of arguing, we can smile, say a kind word and stay calm. Self control is a gift from God.
