loving through annoyance

Righteous are you, O Lord, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. But you, O Lord, know me; you see me, and test my heart toward you.
-Jeremiah 12:1-2

So lately a lot of things and people have been getting on my nerves. It's not very hard to get on my nerves but usually I can keep it under control. I don't know why but it's getting really bad. I just want to be my self where no one can bother me. But then i realized everyone loves me for now reason; therefore I have no reason to be so annoyed.
  • my parents love me no matter how bratty I am, how much I complain, or how "only-childish" I am.
  • my friends love me even though i'm really narcissistic, loud, and obnoxious.
  • my grandparents love me even though I hardly get to see them anymore and seem ungrateful for all the wonderful things they have done for me.
This was all brought to my attention this weekend when I went home. My cat, Bailey, misses me a lot since I moved out. My mom has to leave my bedroom door cracked now because she would sit and cry at it. Every time I come home she is always with me and, to follow the theme, loves me even though I only get to see her when i come home. But, she loves me anyway.
Despite all my flaws, I have terrific people in my life who love me no matter what. I;m just being selfish, and I need to get over myself.

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
- 1 Peter 5:5-6

peace, love, and thanks be to god--
