Fruit of Self-Control

Book Cover & Preview Text
SELF-CONTROL is the fruit of the Spirit that helps us be mild.
Had the Spirit not given us this fruit—oh, how we’d be so wild!
It helps us CONTROL ourselves when we feel very mad.
It keeps us from making others hurt or truly, very sad.
When you have SELF-CONTROL, you think before you act.
You listen to your thoughts before you speak and can’t take them back.
Proverbs 13:3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.
