Difficult People Who Can’t Be Helped
Often people have to experience the pain of what’s wrong before they appreciate the wisdom of what’s right. So when it comes to helping people—be discerning.

Be ready, wise and clear
When God has a job that needs to be done, could He call on you? Would you be prepared? And willing? ‘If anybody asks you why you believe as you do, be ready to tell him.’ As God’s army our goal is to win souls for Christ.
Wisdom
Solomon was one of the wisest men to ever live; yet Jesus is Greater than Solomon, because Jesus is the source of wisdom. Solomon was wise because He asked God for wisdom.
Treasure God’s Word
Reading, receiving, researching, remembering and reflecting on God’s Word are important, but we must respond to it and be ‘doers of the word.’
Be wise and winsome
Some of us act like loving the Lord more requires loving those around us less. We may feel awkward around them, or lose touch with them, or not know how to communicate with them, or give off signals that we are spiritually superior to them.
Know your calling (1)
When God asks you, ‘What is that in your hand?’ He wants you to think about your talents, experiences, relationships, education, resources, your mind and your temperament.
Use words befitting a christian
God’s recorder is always on! The Bible says, ‘A man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and He examines all his paths.’ There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
Let go of your past
Whenever you find yourself saying, ‘If I knew then what I know now,’ remind yourself that unless you grow you’ll be saying the same thing ten or twenty years from now.
Be willing to learn from others
Fear of rejection keeps us from going forward in life and in relationships. You’d be surprised how many people limit themselves to socialising only with those who are comparable to them.
