Fruitful Thursday: Self Control

Now that we're somewhat settled in our new house I'm ready to take on the final month of the Fruitful Thursday series. I will be addressing the final fruit of the spirit, self control. Isn't it ironic that I am typing this post about self control while eating Oreos? There are so many areas where I fall short on self control it's hard to know where to start.

Food

Exercise

Thoughts

Words

Chores

and more.

I guess the best thing to do is start with the source....my heart.

"But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts - murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them." Matthew 15:18-20
