I have been having trouble with something as of late. A person (with whom, unfortunately, I have constant contact with) has been showing me that they have a deep dislike of me. I have not given this person any reason to be mad at me, nor have I done anything vexing to this person. Still, they have a distaste for me that there seems to be no purpose behind. What do I do in a situation such as this? Exactly how do I handle this with my knowledge of God and my love of Jesus? What in the Bible helps me tolerate this person? Do not misunderstand me; I don’t desire a closer bond with this person. I just want to know how to handle the ill will they have for me and the reciprocated bad feelings I have about them?
God Bless you all. Keep this site going!
[b][i]1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evi; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.[/b][/i]
The scriptures let us know, the word we believe in. Is love and it never fails. We as Christ’s examples need to, never be drawn into the flesh of this world. The Scriptures tell us that our battle as Christians is a spiritual battle, never with flesh and blood. see (Ephesians 6:12) We need to know we should be praying our battles to victory. And what seems to be an attack that we need to defend ourself in the flesh, is the exact opposite way we should respond. Be sure you are grounded in the word of God, and if so you can take the persecution. And always remember, we are not perfect and sometimes we can be corrected through others. Love them, be an example, put ourselves in their shoes, and look at ourselves from their veiw, examine ourselves honestly, pray with faith believing. God’s word is our guarantee we will have peace. Satan wants us to think it is a flesh and blood battle. If he can draw a negetive confession out of us. our mouth will lead us astray. Guard your confession, and be the example.
