If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Romans 12:18 NIV)
One of the most important skills we can develop as we walk with Christ is to love difficult people.
Here are four methods Jesus modeled when he encountered difficult people:
1.Realize you can't please everybody. Even God can't do that! Refuse to play games (Matthew 22:18).
2.Learn to say no to unrealistic expectations. Confront them by speaking
the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15 NIV).
3.NEVER retaliate (Matthew 5:38-39). It only lowers you to their level.
4.Pray for them (Matthew 5:44). It will help both of you. Let God speak to them.
