"I understand..."

I tend to have little patience when it comes to people telling me about my spiritual life. When I get excited about what God is showing me so I share with them and they add on to it like what God is showing them is the exact same thing. When it's not. Don't get me wrong, I love hearing what God is doing in other people's hearts and lives, but it's when they try to make it what He's telling me too. I know that's not always what they're doing, but it feels like it, my patience runs thin, and I snap. :\

For instance, yesterday I was trying to tell a friend that God has finally renamed me. (I've been waiting to see my new name for awhile now). He's named me treasured. And He's really teaching me how I am covered by his blood and righteousness....COVERED....I am holy to him. (Although I am still a sinner who needs his guidance and forgiveness). I got frustrated when she was like "Oh yeah! You're victorious and comforted and his daughter." I wanted to just tell her to shut up because that's not it. I mean yes, I am all those things. But that's not where I am right now.

It shouldn't bother me so much. I don't know why it does....okay, yes I do. Satan is all about ruining relationships and he is particularly set on destroying this one. Well, it's awful hard not to let him get in the way sometimes. I have to slow down and remind myself what's really going on. Otherwise my thoughts cloud over and I get mad. And I refuse to let that happen again.
