A few years ago if my wife told me that I needed to change something about my behavior I would rant and rave. I would not listen. I would think hey I know what we need to do and what needs to get done. So I would disregard what she was saying. Now, that I have been studying the bible more, I see that was a big mistake. Those bad habits are still with me. But, with Jehovah's help, I know I can overcome this bad trait and do better, really showing love.
Here is the main point with Jehovah's help. Not with worldly understanding or knowledge, or my own.
If we study the bible with the intent to find Jehovah, he said he would allow us to find him. Then we want to make changes in our lives. WE WANT TO. There is a drive within me to change myself to humble myself. I have made so many mistakes and pridefully, even arrogantly shrugged them off to other people. I was always ready to throw the blame onto someone else.
Now, I want to take the blame for my mistakes. I want to be honest about myself. I want my wife and my sons to see me really for who I am. I want them to see how Jehovah aided me and made me strong.
So I will continue to do this! I will rely on Jehovah more and more.
