You know those zits. The ones that build and build and build. . . deep under the skin. The ones where you know it’s there but it won’t come to a head. So you pick at it. And it scabs over and you pick it again. All the while the pressure is building more and more.
The crease of your nose or that spot in the corner of your mouth is so taut that you are sure it will explode at any moment. Every time you bump your nose or go to wipe it after a sneeze, your eyes water.
Yeah, in the last two weeks I’ve had two of these monsters, both on my nose!
The first one I squeezed and pushed. I finally had to physically pull the stuff out! And my eyes watered! Then last night, the other one was more than I could bare any longer. With tears streaming down my face, I squeeze for all I was worth, all I could handle.
I thought my head had exploded. But no, the zit had hit the mirror!
Unfortunately, it hasn’t completed its course and continues to be a pain in my nose.
But I am one teary squeeze closer.
Striving to learn and live God's purposes,
