Our character flaws do not define who we are. For example, you may struggle with anger, but that doesn’t mean you’re an angry person.

The often quoted Friedrich Nietzche once said, "Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger."

However, in your walk with God, surrendering your attitude to Him yields a much greater blessing than just being stronger.
