Bridle your passions and be filled with love

Alma 38:12 is just such an interesting scripture. It seems contradictory, to mortal perceptions, because it says bridling what some consider to be love gets you more love. But the loves are different loves. When we become masters of ourselves, we become vessels clean enough for the real kind of love and passion: charity. I want to think about this. What passions do I need to work on bridling? Anything that stands in the way of God. Anything that puts me first. Anything that reflects the natural man. Anything that isn't inspired or supported by the Spirit.
