Self-Control



If you would learn self-mastery, begin by yielding yourself to the One Great Master. ---- Johann F. Lobstein

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive (Colossians 3:12-13). 

It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD (Lamentations 3:26).

For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God (I Peter 2:19-20).

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle to the glory of God:  Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken.
