Are you struggling to love a difficult person in your life? Here are a few practical ways to squeeze out some extra love for those who could probably use it the most.

Try to get some perspective from scripture – we have had grace upon grace poured out on us, and when we inevitably mess up (again) we ask God to forgive us. Even if this difficult person in your life can’t or doesn’t ask for forgiveness, give it to them anyway. Love them still. Encourage them still. Be a positive influence in their life.
5. Understand that maybe YOU could be the difficult person to love in someone else’s life!
