This Causes Destruction

It’s a tradition in our family that we meet on Christmas Eve and celebrate. So, the day before Christmas Eve, I was pondering over the family coming together. And although we love one another and have basically good relationships, when a lot of the family come together, I always felt a certain tension.

Partly, I think it was various daughters hoping that I’d take more interest in their children than some other daughter’s children. And I thought to myself, “There must be something behind this.”

I was lying on my back in bed about 11:00 at night, and I said, “God, what is really behind this?” And it was like a kind of gray mist appeared in my room just below the level of the ceiling. I understood that God was showing me, “This is the power that makes relationships difficult in your family.”

So, I asked God, “What is it?” And He said, “Self-righteousness.”
