I was really annoyed this weekend. And I showed it. I complained, I pouted, I made snap judgments, I was grouchy, I was mean. Not Christlike at all. In fact, about as far away as I could ever be.
But God...decided to give me an object lesson. He put in my path, a young boy with no arms and a big smile. And I knew, He was forcing me to confront my sin and get my attitude right. I had no good reason to complain, pout, be judgmental, grouchy or mean. I WAS JUST BEING SINFUL, SELFISH AND STUPID.
This article also let me know, I'm not the only one who falls into this trap of focusing on self. So the next time, and believe me there probably will be a next time, I'm going to picture that young man with the big smile and put a smile on my own stupid face and get on with it.
