Internal struggles can be caused by having a lack of
self-control when faced with difficult choices. Learned patterns of thinking and
believing may serve as obstructions to realizing success and happiness. A man
in his forties explained how his parents overindulged him as a child, creating
an impression that life would be easy and that others were obliged to meet his
needs.
Overindulgence
produced impatience with others and a lack of self-control. While he was not a
drug or alcohol abuser, he found it difficult to resist other temptations. Although
we have the right to pursue what could be construed as happiness, we do not
have the right to violate the ethical rules and guidelines of society or of God’s
laws.
Beyond
society’s expectations, God’s laws eventually become conscious to each person. However,
true and lasting confidence comes from being certain of your standing with
Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord. Internal strife and conflict diminish as
Christ Jesus becomes real in every aspect of your life.
