We fall into an illusive lifestyle when we believe we have no self-control. Part of this earthly journey is realizing that nothing controls us unless we believe it to be so. It isn’t the thing (emotions, feelings, food, exercise, relationships, etc.) that draws us to something, but the perceived inner weakness of the thing that draws us to it.
We do not have a spirit of fear but of love, power, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7).
