waking up, metaphorically speaking

Gal 5:22  

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Gal 5:23  

gentleness and self‑control. Against such things there is no law.

Do you know what word jumps off the page from this scripture at me? "Self-control!" If you are sober, if you have your emotions in check, if you are clear headed, if you are in control of yourself then you are less likely to loose control!

I reckon you know God wants me to get control of my emotions. It seems that God is leading me through the fruits of the spirit one by one all the way to maturity, for a purpose I'm sure, to glorify God.
