The Impossible People You Need

Dealing with People
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.

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.

Luke 14:13-14
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Then he turned to the host. “The next time you put on a dinner, don’t just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor. Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You’ll be—and experience—a blessing. They won’t be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned—oh, how it will be returned!—at the resurrection of God’s people.”

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!!
