How To Love People That Are Hard To Love | Joyce Meyer

We are called to love. Jesus said, that we should love God and then love others as we love ourself. That can be easy sometimes to love the lovable, but what about those who get on our nerves or are difficult to love? Joyce encourages us with a few ways where we can begin to start loving those who are hard to love.

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

the actual right thing to do is to listen to your bad feelings and tell the abuser or perp to shove it with every bit of that emotional energy their abuse gave you. can't always do it safely... but there's also NO WAY to place the onus of "just think gud" on the victim.

I thought that title to myself today.. my boyfriend is being really hard to love. And with out me saying this title aloud, it popped up in my recommendation. How beautiful can god be. I really needed to hear this, especially the part where she stated to not go to god and part for my partner to change but pray for myself first and humble myself. Then pray for god to give the person in my prayers what they need, not what I want for them. That really changed my perspective thank you .

This sets people in abusive situations in a very dangerous situation. It also, puts abusers in a position to truly never being dealt with. Forgive them, and then get the hell out of your abusive relationship.

[@tional5266]

I don’t think she’s talking about abusive people , that’s a different situation entirely, though going to God in prayer over them is quite helpful also

[@karolynrice6267]

@@tional5266 She didn't articulate it so she is talking about abusive people. and the one thing I really think hurts Christianity is the guilt trip these pastors put on people and call it "teaching". I'm so sick of it. The gaslighting and making the person feel like everything that is happening to them is their fault. I am also sick of the hypocrisy. One day she says we are already forgiven, and then in another message it's you have to forgive in order to get God's forgiveness. I think they are all full of crap.
