More thinking

More from Jerry Bridges:

We allow in our minds what we would not allow in our actions, because other people cannot see our thoughts.

This quote was from the chapter on Self-Control. Bridges talks about three key areas where self-control is muy importante, one of which is our thoughts. And I was thinking how very true this was. How often do we get angry at someone and wish that something bad would happen to them? Like "getting what they deserve." Or the times when we judge folks.

The lack of self-control in my life can be considered discouraging. And it's not just thoughts. But it's also an excellent opportunity to ask for God's help.

So how's your self-control?
