Let’s work on this some more

I have been keeping a journal for the past 6 years. Journaling has been such a blessing to me as I go back and relearn what I have forgotten and to see how far God has brought me and how far He has yet to take me. I came across an entry from last March about getting upset over little things in my life, which is something God has been speaking to me about lately. Sometimes I just get upset or frustrated for no reason at all, but at the time I feel like I justify my reactions. I feel the root of that is peace and learning that I can’t be in control of everything even if I want to and that is ok.

God’s patience is incredible and I love how He continues to allow us to work on issues so we become more like Him. I was struggling with this issue almost a year ago and this past week it came back up again. It was almost like God was telling me, “Let’s work on this some more Jeremy”. Most of the time we don’t just surrender something to God and never have to deal with it again, but it’s a process as we continue to rely on God’s strength to overcome.

So what is your issue or issues that keep on coming up? Instead of getting all frustrated, thank God that you have been given another opportunity to work on this. If it is sin don’t try to justify it and just agree with God that this it is sin and you need His forgiveness with it. I want to come to a point where I desire God more than I do holding onto my struggles and sin. So let God work on it some more.
