Every time I start believing that I’ve made significant
spiritual progress I find someone standing squarely on my last nerve. A flash
of frustration can happen so fast and is usually entirely out of proportion to
the situation. I cannot afford to miss the lesson here; dead men feel no pain. The
Apostle Paul revealed the process: “I Die Daily.” Dying to self must happen
each day. Patience with others is a sign of the depth of our progress. Father,
I am rightly shaken with the reality of my lingering weaknesses, yet I know my
selfishness is not incurable. Thank You for confronting what is not pleasing to
You.
