That hard, prickly, annoying, person...she is like looking in a mirror...a reflection...quite a bit like you.
She is you...5, 10 years ago...
Her attempt at showing spiritual growth comes off as condescending...
She hasn't figured nice ways to live her roles...with herself...anyone else...or most importantly God.
And it rankles something terrible because it's so the you that you've wished, hoped, tried to mature.
Yes, tried...so often striving instead of resting in God's love. Instead of trusting Him.
Yup, it sure hurts to see yourself in the mirror.
So often this happens when you pray for an "enemy"...you see...yourself. Your ugly self.
So, I'm moving forward...giving grace and getting some...love covering a multitude of attitudes...
and ignorances...sins.
Trying to be a window so Christ is seen...Not a mirror to my old self.
