I literally just cancelled an Amazon order I made a few minutes ago because my son woke up sick and I struggle with fear when they’re sick so I ordered things that I thought might stop the spread but I knew I shouldn’t spend that money and I’m trusting Jesus to heal us all and keep us in His grace and I pray for Him to do that and I struggle with these things too, God is faithful, thank you so much for writing this. He’s a million times better than we can imagine. May He bless and guide and protect your family and May you feel His Presence each day in Jesus name amen
My Siberian Husky licked our metal well cap last week when it was 18 degrees below zero. With a raw and bloody tongue, he started licking his paws, making his white fur pink. Once the blood was on his paws, he continued to obsessively attempt to clean them, with no rational cognitive thought process that the blood on his paws was coming from his tongue. He simply couldn't stop. He's a dog, we're humans created in the image of God. We have the ability to control our thoughts and stop our reckless behaviors, including use of alcohol, porn, and cell phones!! With the strength of the Lord and the Spirit's gift of self-control, we can do it!!
I've printed this so I can have it nearby to read as often-as-needed. Which is often.
I subtitled it walking in the grace of self-control. Self control--argh!!! My single most, great, battle? warfare? need? downfall? etc. God help me!
Thanks Brittany for weaving this lovely piece of wisdom and encouragement together for such souls as myself. Now, pray I remember it and attend to it, please!
ps - impulsivity and indulgence, mostly through technology, but also at thrift and grocery stores are my substantial 'heart traps'. ARGH!!!
