A Heart of Self Control
At times I tend to say what I ought not to
Sometimes too I do what I should not do
I wish to be wise, but I still act the fool
Give to me, Lord, a heart of self control
I too often speak words not edifying but vile
My anger flares high during testing and trial
My spirit is willing, but my flesh is so weak
A heart of self control, Father, is what I seek
At times my mind strays back to this world
From this mouth blessings and curses hurled
Let the Holy Spirit over my stubborn heart rule
I long deeply for the Spiritual fruit of self control
B/S,
Another in the Fruits of the Spirit series.
God bless.

How many times I chastise myself for saying, doing and thinking so many things that come straight from my heart of flesh. Thank our God for His grace and the filter of His Son Jesus through Whom He looks upon us and forgives! Amen, very nice.
