Why some people bug me...

...and why I bug myself!

Read a little Oswald this morning and this statement really connected with me.

"Goodness and purity should never be traits that draw attention to themselves, but should simply by magnets that draw people to Jesus Christ. A person who is a beautiful saint can be a hindrance in leading people to the Lord be presenting only what Christ has done for him, instead of presenting Jesus Christ himself."

Someone told me recently that the people that bug me the most represent the flaws I see in myself. How painfully true!

Oswald's statement represents one of those areas for me. I constantly have to check my motivation for doing the things I do. I'm tempted to do good things to glorify myself instead of glorifying and presenting Christ to others - 1 Corinthians 10:31.

Lord help my motivation for everything I do to be to give glory to You, and help me to see others as you see them.
