I hate sin.

Sin stinks.

God loves His church.

God does not want sin in His church. He wants her to be holy.

I am prideful. And I am gripping my pride tightly in my hand. God is having to wrestle it out of my hands right now.

I think that it would be a lot less painful for me if I would just open up my fists and let Him have it.

God is powerful. He could destroy my hands to get rid of the pride. But He is patient.

He is patiently pulling the pride out of my grip so that I can use my hands for something better: serving Him. That's why I love His patience, because it is better to go through a long struggle than to have him destroy my hands and them not be useful to Him anymore.

Thank you, God, for being patient towards me. I know that I am still holding on. Please be patient, but please keep pulling.
