It is hard to digest as we intentionally focus on the truth that they bear the image of God. And as you added, His love for them (& me) is vital to tearing down those barriers.<br /><br />I appreciate your openness to share.

Thanks for these steps- you've covered all of them, the hardest being to remember that the offending people are also children of God and that He loves them as much as He loves me. A humbling truth to digest. Thanks for including all of the great verses to memorize!Julia Tomiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999070457191845503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-52785058081623972952012-12-17T09:08:28.064-08:002012-12-17T09:08:28.064-08:00Cathy,

So hard, but yet rewarding to be His vessel.<br /><br />Much love to you Cathy,<br />Hester, :)Hester's Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484503013069778364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-32435897524545221132012-12-17T08:45:38.996-08:002012-12-17T08:45:38.996-08:00Hester, I'm ashamed to say that I tend to want...Hester, I'm ashamed to say that I tend to want to avoid high maintenance people. They exhaust me -- and yet, as a Christ-follower I'm not called to avoid those in need of an extra dose of grace (goodness knows that's me most of the time!) I've found myself asking the Lord to help me see others as He sees them and now I plan to put your other wise suggestions into action. Thank you, friend. P.S. Thankful to hear of your own reconciliation praise. :)Cathy Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387472095598640704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-11021865532420553002012-12-16T14:37:59.351-08:002012-12-16T14:37:59.351-08:00Heather,
