MY LAST NERVE

Every time I start believing 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 key: “I Die Daily”. Dying to selfishness must happen each and every 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 preoccupation with self is not incurable. Thank You for confronting what is not pleasing to You.
