You Can Succeed!

I was talking with a lady last week who said "After 20 years of battling this addiction, I am finally giving it up."

II Corinthians 2:14 says in every day words "You are succeeding!" "You have succeeded!"

To me, it's the victory of self-control. It frees her freedom to love, to experience joy, to know peace, to respond with patience, to have a kind disposition, to act out of goodness, to agree with gentleness. Because self-control leads to success.......THE ABILITY TO MAKE CHOICES WHICH INVITE AND ENHANCE THE DECISION to remain within the boundaries of victory!
