Alrighty...its about to get deep in here.....
I have seen the light! haleluyer! hehehe... no but realy...I have had a period of revelation.
What is it that causes me to... judge my children? Have moments of complete and total irrational irritability? Keep me from admitting Im wrong when I clearly am? Be prone to yelling? Talk about other people? Question Gods authority? Question anyones authority? Talk ALL the time? Complain about what others are doing "wrong"? Attempt to control situations/people? Be manipulative? Care what others think(usually resulting in major anxiety)? Be sarcastic or hurtful in my comments? Give my oppinions or advise when I am not asked for them? and so on....????????
PRIDE!
Thats right...pride. Pride is the cause of all of my self centeredness and focus. I had never seen myself as prideful before and now I am seeing how far it reaches. God has realy been showing me how important people are to him and how important love and good relationships existing between people are to him. These keys are also of great importance to us as people. True love CANNOT exist where pride is. And so my prayer is that God will continue to work in my heart on this pride issue and that He will replace my prideful heart with a humble one.
Even admitting this I am tempted to be prideful about. As if confessing my pridefulness is such a good act that I am doing. As if it was me that showed myself this revelation and not God! How incredible! There is yet so much work needed in me and I am not capable of change without the Lord who created me.
