Self-Control is Freedom

from Bruce Downes Daily Devotional · host Bruce Downes Catholic Ministries

In this episode, Bruce reflects on 1 Corinthians 6:12 and the true meaning of freedom.The world often presents freedom as the ability to do whatever we want. But Saint Paul reminds us that not everything we are free to choose is beneficial, and not everything we choose leads us into freedom. Some things can begin to dominate us.Bruce invites us to ask a searching question: what is beginning to control my life?This devotional reminds us that self-control is not simply willpower or personal discipline. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and a sign that God is forming greater freedom within us.Where do you need the Holy Spirit to restore true freedom in your life today?
