It's a 2 part, 11 letter word, that can save us from a lot of pain in life.
It's not just about rules, necessarily, but a way of life.
- Being mindful of every action and being governed by our Spirit, rather than emotions & flesh.
This includes everything from good vs. bad decisions, sin, marriage, emotions, prayer etc. It's not just about praying once or fast once to feel good about ourselves and our standing with God, but about living a fasted lifestyle and having prayer incorporated into everything we do and being a part of who we are. Even the small things, it's putting God as the center and foundation.
That in everything we do, we should do it with honor.
People who have no self-control, usually end up being full of self loathing.
- We resent ourselves because it causes us not to have the satisfaction of accomplishment. It hinders us from reaching our goals.
