Today: "3 gifts found in difficult people"

This is one of those days when I'm in awe of how God has planted just the right "topic of thankfulness" on just the right day to convict me and challenge me! I've been ignoring and complaining about the difficult people in my life and today He's calling me to gratitude for them! When He calls me to be thankful for difficult people, things, circumstances it's a challenging but beautiful thing. Challenging because it goes against my sinful nature, but beautiful because it requires me to rely on Him, I simply cannot do it on my own.
So by His mercy and grace alone, here are three gifts I've found in difficult people:

1. Conviction
2. Closeness with my Savior
3. A reminder that I may be a difficult person in someone else's life, (hopefully) resulting in humility and a greater reliance on the Holy Spirit! Lord, have mercy on us all!
