We deal with difficult people everyday. Well, I deal with difficult people everyday. Especially now that I work for Group Health-- never mess with people's health and their money. For REAL. haha.
Anyways, it frustrates me to try and help a friend that asks me for help, but doesn't want to be helped. You just can't help people who don't help themselves-- I've learned this from experience. Not everybody that comes into your life will have good motives. I believe God puts difficult people in our lives for us to go through the proving grounds. To teach us tolerance and patience. So, show mercy towards others even when you're right, let God handle the difficult people and do it all in love-- it's easier said than done but it's just another step towards being selfless. And a step towards selflessness is just another step closer to God.
for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
- said Jesus
John 5: 30
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Philippians 2: 3-4
