Knowing You Can-But Deciding You Won't!


Precious, precious words of wisdom....

That is the way to go if you must attain greatness in life.

When i look back at my past,the bad things i could have done without second guessing and remembering how i tuned away,i cant help but say to myself..what a sacrifice.

Each day i have the opportunity to sleep with different ladies but i always ask myself,what is the gain? I am a single guy and i have a staff strength of 10 in one of my businesses and all ladies yet i deliberately look away from all of them despite their beauty and i tend to ask myself...what is the big deal if you just catch your fun with any one of them but i also ask..does it make sense?

One thing i have come to realize in life is that pleasing GOD is not easy..it takes so much sacrifice but the truth is that the reward of pleasing GOD outweighs the sacrifice.

Sometimes i ask myself..am i guided by principles or the fear of GOD? Nevertheless, it pays to please GOD.

GOD help us.

@op
Self control in what context, stealing, murder, robbery, lieing, or sex?

Abi is it only regarding sex that we should cultivate self control as a virtue
As the people above have already classified it under sex!

I was actually speaking about my "mouth" at the moment I wrote that. I was trying to keep from just losing it. It's like the Lord just stopped my mouth. It's an area where I'm trying to get the victory..and I will.
Self-control covers many areas such as appetite, sexual appetite within the context of
marriage, keeping the mouth shut even when one wants to retaliate, not being covetous to the extent that one becomes consumed by it, not having to buy everything just because one can. There's no such thing as self-control with lying & robbery etc. lol. It's just best not to do those two things at all.

Everything needs to be done in moderation. Without self control, one will lose many things.
Re: Self Control by sunvick(m): 10:30am On Dec 31, 2016
I get your point now, just that you missed putting it in context in your 1st post thereby misleading people into thinking that it was about sex alone.

Okay...I can see that. One has to resolve in his/her mind to say "no" then stick with it! Especially when the temptation or tempter is always there somehow....making it quite difficult.

Oh I'm over it now..it was just so shocking how someone did something without asking me first...it was a terrible move on that person's part.
