Which is just as big of a sin as gluttony or laziness. We should strive for balance in all things, and try to recognize when the scale begins to tilt too far in one direction.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/proverbs-25.png</image:loc><image:title>Proverbs 25</image:title><image:caption>A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. - Proverbs 25:28</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/469533_296417613768322_1353497707_o.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Self Evaluation</image:title><image:caption>Physical fitness taken to a point really can be all about vanity. Which is just as big of a sin as gluttony or laziness. I find it interesting that you can overcome one of these deceptions just to fall prey to the promises of another. Vanity promises that we will feel complete if we are beautiful, or physically fit. But these things offer us zero substance. Just like how the promise of the satisfaction of food dies soon after it is eaten, it is good to remember that 'beauty is fleeting' (Proverbs 31:30) and that;

The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.

Honestly, I have found nothing to be more difficult than the self-denial surrounding food. 
In the bible fasting often represents a spiritual discipline that teaches you how to refine your focus and learn self-control. Lack of self-control can make you an easy target to be tempted (1 Corinthians 7:5).

A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

Yes, the victims deserve justice and sympathy, but I find myself wondering what that 'horrible person' who harmed them has gone through. I wonder what demons that they have had to face in their life before to get them to that point where they could hurt someone else. </image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/seafoam.png</image:loc><image:title>seafoam</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/stucko.png</image:loc><image:title>stucko</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/rose-gold.png</image:loc><image:title>rose gold</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/red-brick.png</image:loc><image:title>red brick</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/stones.png</image:loc><image:title>Stones</image:title><image:caption>Abuse - Empathy - Forgiveness</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/plank.png</image:loc><image:title>plank</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/stone-wall.png</image:loc><image:title>stone wall</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2022-02-15T23:26:08+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/2020/03/11/hope-for-divorcees/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/hope-for-the-divorcee-quote-1.png</image:loc><image:title>'Hope for the divorcee' quote</image:title><image:caption>Ditch the Timeline!</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/divorce-statistic.png</image:loc><image:title>Divorce Statistic</image:title><image:caption>50% of marriages end in divorce.</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/untitled_design__5_.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Hope for the Divorcee</image:title><image:caption>Divorce - Betrayal - Heartbreak - Marriage - Hope</image:caption></image:image><lastmod>2022-02-15T23:26:08+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/contact/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://theawakenedwriter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/untitled-design-4-2.png</image:loc><image:title>Contact Page</image:title><image:caption>I am a woman of faith sharing wisdom gained through my own personal experiences on; sexuality, singleness, marriage, adultery, divorce, forgiveness, vanity, abuse, addiction and more.
