"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23
The worst-tempered people may be
made gentle and loving in all their
words, acts, and dispositions--
by the renewing and transforming
power of divine grace. GOD can take
the jangled keys and put them in tune--
if we will only put them into HIS hand.
But we must strive ourselves
to be sweet-tempered. We must
watch the rising anger--
and quickly choke it back.
We must keep down our ugly
disposition. We must learn
to control ourselves, our tempers,
our feelings, our passions, and
our tongues. We must seek
to develop the gentle virtues--
and crowd out the thorns!
This discipline is not easy,
but the lessons can be mastered.
who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
