Sandpaper
I’m repeating a life lesson
I’ve learned before, namely this: in situations where I really
and truly just want to run away and hide from some problem (often a
person), the thing I really need to do is stick it out and let the Lord
use the person as sandpaper in my life. My desire is to get away
from the friction. But it’s not about making life easy – it’s
about me becoming more like Jesus. It’s too easy to waste time
wishing the problem would go away rather than looking for where I need
to change. There’s no fast track to endurance.
