Friends, I need prayer. I ask you to stand with me in faith, believing that I might walk out in power to stop sinning against the Lord's law of love in my hatred of flies.
I really think that would be a good next thing to get over. I've conquered my dislike of beans, cooked bananas, peanuts, edible fish bones, mosquito nets and squat toilets but I haven't yet managed to not despise the feeling of little fly legs crawling over my skin. It's maddening.
I'm not gonna say that sometimes I question my salvation, but... (just sayin'...) I AM unsettled by the degree of anger and hostility that is able to take residence in me in the presence of two miniscule insects flying around my room, intermittantly having the audacity to land on my face. We think we're so far away from those crazy, hateful people that do atrocities in the world, kill, rape or enslave...but it's all the same root. "The intention of man's heart is evil from his youth" (Genesis 8:21)
