“Self-discipline is not among the more glamorous of the virtues, but it is the very stuff of life. When the eagerness of youth is supported by the solidity of self-control, something really great comes into life.”

- William Barclay

1. You can say no.
The grace of God is so powerful that it teaches you to say no. You are not a slave to what doesn’t please God. You are not just waiting for your next failure.

2. You can teach others to say yes.
As you grow, your job is to pass on the good news that trying and failing is not the story of the child of God. Our story is one of waking up each morning with new mercy from the God of grace, strengthened to walk with Him, for Him, for good.
