Living with people is a whole new level of getting to know them. You share their personal space, get to see them at their lowest and weakest and also get to know their character, not just personality. You become familiar with their different moods, which isn't always easy to accept or keep up with.
The personality part is easy to handle but when it comes to character, that's when the rubber meets the road. It's not as easy as it looks. More disagreements, more squabbles, more division....(it all depends on how you handle the situation off-course).
Then again, we look at the way the Lord works in our lives. He works on our character to be honest, not just our personality. Our Kingdom DNA involves our character, it's the person we let out when we close the front door when we get home.
And when He begins to work on character, it's not always easy. He works on the deepest part of who we are!
It's frustrating, painful, annoying, unbearable and over-whelming but oh the end result is just so sweet. Be the change you want to see in the world - don't try to change the world, the person you live with or people you share personal space with.
It's not easy but it's worth it.
Peace & Love.
