How Do I Deal With Mean People and Bullies?
Okay, today, you’re learning about something you might encounter on a more everyday basis: difficult people. Some people are just more difficult and it’s hard to know how God would have us respond to them. Clam up and stay quiet? Ignore them? Tell them how wrong they are? Watch this video for a great response to the question: How do I deal with mean people and bullies?
Remember: Loving your enemies doesn’t mean ignoring it if someone is actively hurting you or your friends. If someone is hurting you or others, stand up for what’s right and get help—right away—from trusted adults.
Pray: God, thank You for teaching me what it really means to love others. Help me when I’m irritated with people’s actions or attitudes. Help me to see others the way You see them. In Jesus’ name, amen.
