Matthew 5:44

"...Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."

So the Bible is filled with little tidbits of helpful info such as Matt. 5:44. We just have to remember to look for them. Sometimes, we see them, but sometimes because we don't like one part, we choose to ignore it.

And to be completely frank with y'all, my human nature doesn't want me to be living this verse. And honestly, until I started writing this, I didn't realize just how much I needed this verse (funny how God works all this out). Instead of dwelling on myself and how I may or may not be being mistreated, I need to pray for the other person. A while ago, God helped show me how to love everyone, regardless of my initial reaction to a person. He helped me to see a person for who they are, whether or not I would want to be "best friends" with them. So I had half this verse down. Now I just need to work on praying for those who "persecute" me.

You will probably never know what is going on in the life of someone that is giving you problems. So while you should try and resolve the conflict, also pray for that person.
Alright, if that helped you in some way...then my job is done.

Later y'all.
