The Impossible People You Meet

The Impossible People You Meet…

I know of ministers whose basic attitude is, “I could have a very successful ministry…. if I just didn’t have to deal with people.” In the same way, you might be saying, “I want to be loving, forgiving, and patient, but it’s impossible with the people I have to deal with.”

It would be a lot easier to be godly if we didn’t have to deal with people. But how could you be loving if you didn’t have people to love, or forgiving if you didn’t have people to forgive? The only type of people you can forgive are those who’ve sinned against you.

How can you be patient if you don’t have people to be patient with? The only type of people to be patient with are those who are hard to be patient with. People come with baggage, but that’s the side issue.

After God, people are the main issue, and your job is to love them. Set your heart on loving those impossible to love people in your life. Because there’s no way you’re going to be successful in the Lord, your ministry, or your calling – without people.

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed because they can not repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

Today, set your heart on loving those difficult people that God has placed in your life and loving the rest more than you have.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
