We all have our issues.

There are many lessons the Lord is teaching me this year, but one of the main ones would be that we all have our issues.

Sometimes I grow weary of my personality. While it can be a great strength, there are some pitfalls that come with it. There are some common lies in my life that I like to believe based off past hurt and so I use that hurt as a lens to view other situations. Then I listen as Satan speaks lies to me and I speak lies over myself. 

Sometimes I wish I didn't have certain struggles related to my personality and long for the day when this one thing will no longer be an issue.

But really...I am understanding that we all have our issues. 

I have my thorn. But in it His grace is sufficient and His strength is perfected in me through my weakness. This is a good thing. So rather than wish my issues away, I really just need to allow God to be glorified through them. 

Honestly, even if this one issue did disappear, I would just have another one that would need dealt with--it's a never ending cycle! I also believe we all have our issues to keep us humble and dependent on Him and one another.
