#JuneforJesus!
Titus 2:12
"Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"
It's important to have self control, without it, we'd be making so many more bad decisions in our lives. Even I find it hard to practice self control, especially when it comes to food or snapping when I'm angry. But we must stay strong minded and choose God over the things of this world. Nothing this world has to offer can fill that hole in our hearts, only Jesus can bring that comfort. Yeah, doing stuff may make you happy or encouragement from others, but the joy only lasts a little while. Jesus is eternal, and so is his love.
Bet ya didn't expect me to hit ya with another Bonus Verse! XD
Mark 8:36
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
I "picked" watermelon because well.. between this. And pineapple, Watermelon is a much softer and juicy fruit, and it takes some control to get even cuts.

You had to hit me between the eyes with this last one, didn't you. I guess this is a battle for pretty much everyone. But having see self-control and denying those worldly lusts, sometimes I feel like I'm unique in my failure, like no one could possibly be as bad as it as I am. I know that's not the case, but Satan loves to try and drive that wedge between us and our Savior. So I pray that God will give me strength to battle those things, to stand before me and defend me, and give me the sense to run away from the battles that I can't fight.
It's fitting then, I guess that you chose watermelon. I don't know if it's some kind of allergy or what, but my whole life I've been this way: if I smell watermelon, or anything watermelon scented, I have to get away from it. If I continue to smell it, it gives me a headache and makes me nauseous. If you've ever had motion sickness, it's a lot like that.
