Gasp!

Okay, so I had a good day today, for the most part. However, uh-hmmm, I did have a few struggles. I had a good hour at work when I see now my patience was being tested. I did not pass the test. I was so irritated and frustrated inside that at one point I actually swore under my breath, the worst thing I could possibly say. If you are a Christian, you probably know what that is. I just feel horrible. So, I just wanted to share my little struggle today, as ugly as it is. But, I have asked for forgiveness and I am standing on the fact that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". (Romans 8) Lord, I thank you that in my imperfection and sin, you love me and forgive me so lavishly. Not because of anything I could possibly do to earn it, but because you chose to take the full punishment for my sin. How could I possibly thank you? I guess you could say by not using your name in vain, and blessing instead of cursing. I thank you that you extend your extravagant mercies anew each day. I am humbled by your grace and love, and like a little child standing before her daddy and hanging her head, I ask for your forgiveness. Please transform me by your spirit. Amen.

Isn't it the hardest! When I am irritated, my flesh screams so loud I swear it could brake glass!
