What do you do when you come in contact with with difficult person? Here are the ABC of dealing with difficult people:
A - avoid them and run fast and far
B - Bear with them, understand them, accept them and live with them peacefully
C - cast them.
I know the easiest way is to answer C and the next easiest is A but as Christians the best answer is suggestion B. We have to relate with this kind of people in a Christian way. I know it is hard, i have a hard time doing it as well but we have to try our bestto understand and bear with them as what Christ did. He responded with humility. Hope you learn something from this and deal with them nicely next time

by loving your enemy you will heap coals of burning fire upon their head
and if hell attacks be thankful because the lord was attacked by hell also. so stand firm against satan's lies and viciousness because my lord jehovah will be victorious over all of satan's army so die satan and your armies of hell.

I totally agree with you that if you love your enemy they will be tormented by it because they try to do all kinds of bad things to you and all you do is be kind and loving to them. It's like showing them that their efforts are futile.

It is hard sometimes to accept people as they are, but we can't make people be the way we want them to be right? We can't make people become who we want them to be just because we find them to be difficult. I try my hardest to live peacefully with people whom i find difficult.

This seems to be a paradox but the ABC choices still fall short from love. Love is God and only God can love the unlovable. Knowing how unloveable we under God's light would bring us to humility. If we are to love the unlovable, God first has to enter into us and be the loving life with the loving ability within us to love others.

My answer would be to try to see them as God sees them. We are not privy to what is going on in their lives. There are reasons why someone is mean or angry. Loving and Kind acts given to the people who need it the most is exactly what Christians should be doing.
