Self-control is controlling your emotions, desires and actions. Self-control is a good thing to have because there are many things in our life that will make us angry. It is good to know that you won’t retaliate when something comes heading in your direction. Just like Gentleness, this is a difficult fruit of the spirit to develop and maintain on our own.

Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.

Proverbs 25:28
