The Fruit of the Spirit is SELF CONTROL

Maybe it's breaking free of the doom scroll on your phone. Or controlling your lustful or fearful thoughts. Or staying away from the ice cream in the freezer. Or getting up early enough to prioritize time with God. No matter who we are, we all struggle with self control! It's the last of Paul's 9 character qualities that make up the fruit of the Spirit that God is forming in his people. 📖 SCRIPTURE READING: Galatians 5: 16-24
