Temperance-(Discipline) Poetry Devotional -8/18/25

Galatians 5:23

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.



Your laws have never been against me
They have always benefited me
I have only suffered by rejecting them
And doing my own thing
Thinking I was free ignorantly
But now I know I am always a slave
My only freedom is to choose
Who I serve with my liberty
Everyday
And I choose You Father in heaven
I choose Your Son, Christ, who
Through Him, You give salvation
And I praise you for the fruits You
Give through Your Holy Spirit
Especially temperance
Please continue to  grow me in discipline
Of my spirit
Do not withhold chastisement
For I am grateful for all of Your correction
Through it I know my limits
And set a border for my heart and mind with Your Commandments
For Your laws
have always benefited me
I have only suffered by rejecting them
And doing my own thing
Thinking I was free ignorantly
But now I know I am always a slave
My only freedom is to choose
Who I serve with my liberty
Everyday
And I choose You Father in heaven
I choose Your Son, Christ, who
Through Him, You give salvation
And I praise you for the fruits You
Give through Your Holy Spirit
Especially temperance
Faithfully
💙
