Sunday Dwight wrapped up the Dealing With Difficult People series. I’ve heard from several people that the whole series was relevant to their lives and very helpful. Sunday’s message was the icing on the cake. Great practical, biblical advice and principles that apply to each of us. If you missed it, you really ought to pick up a CD of it or listen online at www.NewPointe.org.
Here are some of the scuds I wrote down:
- When we see as Jesus sees, we will do as Jesus says.
- God wants you to change the way you see people—especially the way you see the difficult ones.
- God knows exactly what you’re up against.
- God is for YOU! And He’s also for that difficult person in your life.
- When we live in submission to God’s ways and His laws, life goes better.
- A life of faith is not about hoping for something. A life of faith is about being rooted in God and believing that He knows best.
- If you do not surround yourself with sane, safe people, you’re guaranteed to fail.
- It’s counter-intuitive but you and I need to be FOR that difficult person just like God is for them. It’s called GRACE (wanting good things for them).
- You keep rescuing that difficult person and you’re ticked at them. Maybe you should be ticked at yourself for continuing to enable them.
- Most difficult people need to experience some pain before they’ll realize you mean what you say.
- Don’t rescue the difficult person. Let God, let reality take its course and guide you.
- People don’t change when they see the light. They change when they feel the heat.
- The phrase “Time heals all wounds” is not true. Time can work against you if you don’t deal with the issue.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
