[My FB status from 5.9.13]

Sometimes it’s VERY DIFFICULT to love people that keep hurting you… and sometimes those people aren’t hurting you intentionally but they have some deep rooted issues that cause them to act and think a certain way. Continue to love them and pray for them. Declare that breakthrough is coming. I know, don’t we wish it came years ago for them? Yes! But don’t give up on the ones you love… when they are at their low and worst… that’s when they need your love the most  plus, we’re not perfect either… we all need some more work and growing from time to time ♥♡

Prayer:
Lord, you KNOW how difficult it is for us to LOVE people unconditionally… especially those close to our hearts. God please help us stretch out grace to them.. and to not give up on them… when they need us most.. I pray our hearts be moved to draw closer to them and not push them away. Your love casts out all fear… I pray your love would consume those close to us.. because we loved on them non-stop! amen!
