Have you ever felt defeated by your inner struggles? You promised you wouldn't touch alcohol for another year, yet the lure of scotch with its golden hue is too difficult to resist. You promised you would keep your temper under control, yet you find yourself yelling at your spouse after a frustrating day. You're the single person who promised to wait until you are married yet you succumbed to what felt like the most natural thing to do. We've all given in to our flesh.
If you are experiencing an inner struggle today, gaze upon the eyes of Jesus and remember that He sent you His Spirit to dwell in your heart. You don't have to struggle alone. Ask for His guidance so you may live by the Spirit, walk by the Spirit, and experience its growing fruit in your life--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. --Read Galatians 5:16-25
