Patience

I was planning on sleeping around 11PM tonight since I have a full day tomorrow. But it's 1AM now and I'm still up because my hallmates are being really loud as usual. So I decided to do my devos instead... and the entire time I'm doing this, I'm feeling irritated and even bitter at them. The kitchen is so dirty because they don't clean up after themselves. My entire sleep schedule revolves around the times they are loud or quiet. All they care about is partying, drinking, and hooking up.

I found myself complaining and judging them in my head. All the while, I knew that I was wrong for thinking this way. Then I thought, really, what is the point in even doing my devos if I am doing it with the wrong heart? I am going through the motions of being a "good Christian," but in my heart I am hating my neighbors (LITERALLY).

I definitely feel humbled right now.
