That Annoying Person

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
Deuteronomy 18:18 (ESV)

These chapters in Deuteronomy are filled with laws that seem impossible to fulfill even for the holiest. Trying to be nice to that annoying person can be just as difficult. I had a relative that I would find most annoying and difficult to get along with. I found out that God loves this person just as much He loves me and that Christ came so that not by my strength but by His love and strength I am able to be nice, patient, and understanding. In Christ, I am a new creation, with the fruit of the Holy Spirit, now able to talk with my relative in a loving and understanding way and to actually enjoy being with him.

Prayer:

Father in heaven, thank You for being our strength. I pray for us to continuously rely on what Christ did on the cross, and not what we can do. In Jesus' name, Amen.
