Working with Difficult People (Instagram)

It's easy to dismiss the unloveable and smile and show kindness to people we "like". But people matter and if we have been afforded the opportunity to be in their presence, we should aspire to be the difference-maker, the missing piece to the puzzle, the peacemaker! When we respond in anger and frustration (🙋), that leads to dissension ...ultimately, the issue isn't them, it's us ...our heart needs a tune-up. There's more than meets the eye! We may not know a person's story or defense mechanisms but ONE kind word could change their lives forever! 

I've learned to seek out the grumpy person at work or the "bad" kid at school to encourage what I want to see ..."please, thank you, you're really good at what you do, you did a great job today," and a SMILE/hi-five go a lonnggg way! ...when we find ourselves digging for gold instead of rocks, then we'll find the true treasure of a person! Let's cultivate God's greatness in people! Lord, help us to hold fast to patience and love! #helpmeJesus #sometimesiwanttogooff #butchangeme #helpmetoseewhatyousee
