Bible Question: How should I deal with people who don't always tell the truth? How can I deal with how I feel about being lied to? How can I maintain trust and love for these people? |
Bible Answer: I had a co-worker that consistently lied on me, to me, and about me. She got under my skin so bad, that all I wanted to do was to punch her dead in her face. A friend of mind who was a minister told me to pray for her three times a day. He suggested that the more that I pray for her, the less hatred I'd have for her. I had nothing to loose but my job for fighting, and my testimony for being a Christian, so I tried things his way. and IT WORKED. I became more concerned for her spiritual welfare then I was for the things she was doing to me. Personally I suggest the same thing to you. Pray for that person three times a day at a minimum. The more that they upset you, the more you should pray for them. Eventually God will handle you problem like he handled my problem. Your problem isn't the other person, and what they're doing to you, your problem is self, and not knowing how to handle the situation. The CurtMan |
