“God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7, ESV)
Is it evident to those around you that you have self-control? Are you a person who chooses to do what is right even when you may want to do what is wrong? If you are a Christian, this trait should be growing in your life. If you are not a Christian, you are missing out on so much that God has to offer you , and self-control is just one of those things. In a world which seems so out-of-control at times, we need more people who regularly practice self-control. Will you be one of those?
