Read, Reflect, Respond
Scripture: A man without self-control is like a city broken into without walls. Proverbs 25:28
Reflection: We live in an impulsive world full of toleration. It’s the I’m OK, You’re OK culture. Our society doesn’t have a north star or know how to define truth. This promotes ignorance and lack of healthy boundaries. It breeds dysfunctional marriages, families, relationships, communities (including faith), countries and the world. Works of the flesh like hatred, strife, rivalry, jealousy, anger, rage and selfishness cause division, creating fractured families and communities. Evil divides while God unites. Do I build healthy walls in my life based on virtue, humility, modesty, and self-restraint?
Wise Words: It is by resistance to temptations that we give God proof of our love. St. John Vianney
Prayer: Lord, give me the self-restraint to respect any holy boundaries I need to set today.
