self-control

<< < (3/4) > >>

Ninny:
Jennie,
Use extreme caution when following Longhorn's advice he gives it out free of charge and you always get just what you pay for!! ;D His solutions always involve using things readily available say in a cow pen, or under the buzzard's roost, or a dozen other disgusting places. Use your imagination you're a country girl! :D
Take care!
Kathy ;)

jennie:
Yeah I am down with the country girl revenge that used to be so good. For some reason, even when I am enraged... my mouth is quiet about the hurtful information. I know this would blow another family to bits. Mine has been blown to bits a few times and it's no fun. So far your kind words of wisdom and prayers are working to help me keep myself "in check"! Love to ya'll from my cold mountains (22 degrees!)! Jennie

Ninny:
brrrrrr....brrrrrr! Yeah like here it is oh let's see...58 degrees, but that's cold to me! My house feels like 40 degrees, I don't have the heat on except for a little heater in the kitchen! BUT I'm not IN the kitchen! I need to be in there!
I know God will help you do the right thing.  Why does He always make us decide to do what's right when I'm sure you feel like you are well withing your rights to knock the living daylights out of that person! I'm so glad His spirit in us has the ability to cause us to think rationally on the right occasion! He has put his hand over my mouth many times when I have been ready to strike like a rattlesnake! Thank you, God! Just goes to show you without God we are no different than a thousand other people! :'( :D
Praying for you still!
Kathy :-*

My thought on self-control is that its better to rely on God than one's own sense of righteousness. When I try to do good things or avoid temptation many times it is based on a sense of self-righteousness so I think its best to admit my fault and yield to the spirit of God.

Hi Jennie,

Try a little something i learned a while ago, it always works when you do it right. If you keep trying to do
or not to do you are guaranteed to fail sooner or later. Remember the tongue, that little member is only like
a wild asp :-X when uncontrolled by us. Here are some Scripture to back that up: ???

Job 6:24:
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

Psalms 39:1:
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

Proverbs 18:21:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 31:26:
She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

James 1:26:
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
 
James 3:6:
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body,
and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

James 3:8:
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Now here is the 100% cure; Give it to God and leave it there do not take it back, guaranteed to work failsafe.

This is called GOD Control; He Is The Best At It.
