See, I am tearing down the stronghold of self-pity in your life. You are learning to despise its influence, but part of you still craves it. The more I empty you of yourself, the more that part of you longs to jump into that slimy pit and wallow!
Here is an opportunity for you to truly believe that My Grace is sufficient for you, and that My power is made perfect in weakness. As you yield your weakness to Me, you give up your right to be grumpy, irritable, short-tempered - all these sins that you so often justify by one of self-pity's favourite lies: "I'm just too tired".
Tiredness is no excuse for sin, it is just the perfect opportunity for you to allow My Life to live through you. Yield to Me, My love.
Oh...this. Yes. ♥
