Pierce writes: This song may sound more like it is about the fruit of the Spirit, but in the long run it takes that and aims it at self-control as one of its main goals. I’m sure this song may hit in different ways or subjects for many of us, but for me, Proverbs 23:29-32 and 25:16 remind me of how I used to be a blithering drunk in my overindulgence of alcohol, thinking I was doing just fine in my relationship with Christ. But one day, on July 9, 2023, God touched me and woke me out of my drunken stupor and led me to a group that has helped me grow in both my self-control over my alcoholism and my relationship with Christ. I have been, for nearly 3 years now, on a long, trial-filled, and far-to-go path of strengthening my self-control to become a little more like Jesus…and a little less like me.
