I know that sometimes it is difficult for you to deal with difficult people. When you encounter difficult people, just remember that I dealt with many difficult people when I was on earth. I upbraided the Pharisees and scribes because of their legalistic ways. They cared more about keeping the law than they did showing love to people. It was their lack of love that grieved Me.
I love you with an everlasting love. My Father is love and I expressed His love while I walked on earth. I was moved with compassion many times. I do not ever upbraid you when you fail to demonstrate My love to others. However, I do exhort you to love your neighbor as yourself. When you understand that I died to forgive the whole world of their sins, you will see people in a new light. My sacrificial blood was shed to forgive even those people who are difficult.
If you encounter difficult people today, call upon Me to help you love them as I love them. It is impossible for you to be loving and kind to others in your own stength. Allow Me to tenderize your heart so that My love will pour from your heart to others. Know this truth. I love even those who have rejected Me. My compassion for others will flow even to those who are unkind to you when you rely on Me to love and forgive through you.
EPHESIANS 4:32
