“Self-Control!—This cannot be acquired in an instant…to possess it because we have learned to hand it over to Jesus Christ; to be self-controlled because we are Christ-controlled—this does not come easily or at once.  Only through long years of temptation and failure and faith do we come at last to learn that we are nothing. We can effect nothing and hand over the entire control and management of the inner life to Him who is able to keep us from falling, and present us before the throne of His glory with exceeding joy.”  Frederick Brotherton Meyer  (1847-1929)
