Topic: Self-control

We are reminded that in an angry and anxious world, our calling as followers of Jesus is to abide in him so the Holy Spirit produces a visible, contagious joy in our lives—one that isn’t shaped by circumstances, past failures, or outside voices but reflects God’s presence to everyone around us.

We were created in God’s image for relationship with Him, and our lives—whether as parents or not—carry influence, so we’re called to live with humility, integrity, boldness, self-control, and intentional presence, reflecting His love in a world full of distraction and compromise.
