I want to just jump in quickly and share something that I believe is going to be really beneficial for a lot of people concerning difficult people or concerning dealing with issues of people that are many times we are surrounded with, whether it's in our family or whether it's in our work or whether it's in our

leadership. I think every single person must understand that people are going to be our greatest

joy and people are also going to be our also greatest pain. People will bring you the greatest

pleasure and then people will also bring you the greatest

joy and pain. I know a lot of people who quit their ministry because of people. I know people

who gave up on relationships because they've been hurt by people. I also know people who left

their faith because of people. People is God's treasure, but people can also be honestly a very,

very difficult can make your life extremely painful and extremely difficult.

And I'm not speaking this because I went through right now something that is difficult.

Not really.

I've had an experience last week that went under my skin.

And the next morning, I went to talk to God and say, Lord, what is, how do I process this? How do I deal with this?

And the interesting part is that my reading plan that morning fell on Jesus' crucifixion.

And so Jesus' death, how he processed that.

And so I started to reread that chapter in the light of how to deal

with difficult people, how to deal with challenging situations. And I wrote these things for myself.

These were just something that I wrote for myself. And I really believe they're going to be a

blessing to you as well. If you are in this situation right now where maybe you're dealing with something

very difficult in your relationship with your spouse, or perhaps with your children, or maybe

it's at your work, or maybe it's things that you're dealing right now in the ministry,

where somebody is getting under your skin, where somebody feels like, man, they're just,

they're just driving me crazy. I can sleep. I constantly think about this person.
