I have two sins which I struggle with the most -- I won't tell you one of them. The other one is the sin of pride.
There are certain things I like and appreciate about myself. However, I don't think about these things in terms of being better than others. Instead, the problem is that, if others try to put me down, in my pride I have a great tendency to think it is my responsibility to defend myself -- after all, they just don't know me well enough to be able to criticize me, or what I know, in that manner. If they persist, then I start to think that I have to put them down, too, so that they won't feel so high and mighty.
In my growing relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit has definitely been working on me in this area. He is trying to show me that I don't need to defend myself for Jesus has already made it plain that He values me so highly that He died for me that I might go to Heaven if I so choose. He is also showing me that it is wrong for me to speak badly of another human being whom Jesus Christ also valued enough to die for them, too -- even if that other person is not choosing to go to Heaven.
Thus, through the promptings of the Holy Spirit, I have improved in this area but, as they say, "He ain't done with me, yet."
God bless.

Worry, I've always been a worry wort and God is helping me by telling me that He is God and has it all under control. I'm still not claiming victory over that sin yet, but I'm on my way.
