The power to say no to yourself is made more powerful every time we do it. Everything gets easier with practice; it’s when we first start out that it’s tough. We must often drag certain desires behind us until they catch up with what we have decided is best for ourselves. We can be encouraged that the benefits of self-discipline always catch up to us.
For the grace of God... teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age...” Titus 2 Conversations Within” ts 11/7/2017
