A BETTER WAY TO HANDLE DIFFICULT PEOPLE
Stop Judging Others:
- what it doesn’t mean …
- what it does mean … it means we need some vision correction
- what it means practically … it means we need some vision correction
CORRECTING OUR VISION
- These people are in our lives to STRETCH us
HOW DIFFICULT PEOPLE STRETCH US
- They are God’s Tools to shape us into the people God wants us to become
- They force us to broaden our perspective
- They increase our sensitivity toward others
- They redirect us toward working responsibly on our own flaws
- They enable us to be more effective in serving others
