Sometimes it's hard to relate to those who don't know the Lord, especially when they are hurtful. But, what better opportunity for God's unconditional love to shine through us? It's easy to show God's love to the easy to love, but it is an act of God in us, to show His love towards those who hurt us.
There are times when we just need to go to a room, close the door and pray, not letting ourselves get sucked into someone else's issues, so that GOD can be our ultimate comfort, while He works to touch the other's heart. We need to pray fervently for those who hurt us, never taking things personally. Then, we will actually gain more compassion and insight towards those people, and even joy, knowing that God does indeed work all things together for our good and His glory, and that we are MORE than conquerors in Him.
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Romans 12:21
"....pray for those who persecute you,"
Matthew 5:44
