I liked today’s study but the one question I have, is – why do we need so many ‘sandpaper people’? Do we have so many rough edges that we require a lot of sanding to smooth us into usable people? I suppose, based on my own experience, that the answer to the last question is, ‘yes’. What are your thoughts on this topic?
As Selwyn says: “Some people are downright difficult. Yet God tells us that we are to love them because this is the way in which He intends us to relate to one another.” Another way of looking at this area of relating to difficult people is that Christ died, on the cross, for them – they are worth dying for – and, that, is how we should also value these ‘difficult’ people.
