You know, sometimes the blessing is staring you in the face and you may not realize it. Over the years here at the same job, I've met some really nasty acting people. They have the biggest attitudes ever. Loud in talking, using all caps in messages, these people are a journey (meeting them was the trip)! But I've realized that sometimes your image, your habits, your issues that you want and need to correct are being realized through these people. If you listen carefully to them, watch their mannerisms (with you and others) and they'll tell you about one person--yourself. God will allow your reflection to show in others. Are you showing yourself friendly? Are you being positive and helpful as much as possible (i.e. are you loving thy neighbor as yourself). Sometimes you just need to, not just do you, but work on you.
The difference: to work on you, you're taking a candid, hard look at yourself in the present and agreeing to change what's needed. Baby steps are what's needed, and they are often the hardest to take. Dare yourself to be true to yourself--you deserve it.
Lord, help me to be honest with myself to make ground-breaking changes that will bring me closer to you. Amen.
