HOW TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
1. Refuse To Be Offended (Don’t take it personally!)
How do I keep from taking personal offense at crazymakers?
● Consider the source & ignore it! (Mark of Maturity)
Proverbs 12:16 NLT - A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted.
● Consider WHY the person is so difficult. (Discover their background/ current stress.)
Proverbs 19:11 NLT - Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.
Proverbs 10:12 NIV - Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
2. Don’t Wait For An Apology To Forgive Them.
Colossians 3:13 NLT - Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
3. Refuse To Gossip About Them!
Proverbs 17:9 NCV - Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend, but gossiping about the sin breaks up friendships.
1 Peter 3:9 NLT - Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.
4. Refuse To Play Their Game.
2 Corinthians 4:2 NLT - We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this.
Titus 3:10 NLT - If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them.
5. Refuse To Cave In.
Romans 14:16 NIV Do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.
2 Corinthians 11:20 NLT - You put up with it when someone enslaves you, takes everything you have, takes advantage of you, takes control of everything, and slaps you in the face.
6. Always Take The High Ground.
Romans 12:14 NLT - Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.
Romans 12:17-18 NLT - Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
