The Impossible People You Need
Tuesday, April 24, 2018
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 is 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.
From Message #357 - Dealing with People
Scripture: Luke 14:13-14
TODAY'S MISSION - Today, set your heart on loving those difficult people that God has placed in your life and loving the rest more than you have.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
