The importance of self-control

Proverbs 25:28 “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.” The last of the 9 fruits of the Spirit which define the being every Christian strives for is self-control.  You and I as adopted children ofour Heavenly Father realize we will fail when we practice pleasures controlled by our own whims and desires.  We will fall into a trap which will lead to our own destruction.  Each of us need to happily and voluntarily pray that the Holy Spirit direct our every action so that we live wise and honorable lives always glorifying our Savior and never ourselves.  That is the conclusion of a successful life.
