Here’s the truth: what I say and do reflects who I am; what somebody else says and does reflects who he is—not who I am.
Here’s the problem: I have a bad habit of taking somebody else’s snarky mood or look or comment personally. Instead of thinking, “Hmm, he must be having a rough day,” I think, “Yep, just as I suspected. I’m not ____ enough, and he knows it, too.”
Here’s the solution: little by little, I can practice letting go of my bad habit and letting God change the way I think.
“Let God transform [me] . . . by changing the way [I] think.” Romans 12:2
