How is your love for the difficult person in your life? Is there someone you are trying to avoid that you have found to be difficult? Do you want God to forgive you more than you are willing to forgive someone else? If so, you may have a Jonah problem. I think I have learned something beneficial over the years about dealing with challenging people. I’ve learned that if I ignored those folks or brushed them off it was never going to improve our relationship. In fact, it could even hinder my relationship with God. I have learned Jesus didn’t avoid difficult people, He loved them. Thankfully, our God loved us, before we loved Him.
