We all know people that we think the world might be better off without, or at least our own personal world.

They are experts in the art of making everyone around them unhappy. That is after they have succeeded in making themselves unhappy.

They hardly qualify as love objects.

Fact of the matter, they’re a pain.

And then along comes the Master Teacher from the Hallowed Teaching Halls of heaven and orders, “Love others like you love yourself.”

And you may sometimes feel like responding, “Can I please trade that commandment in for one that is easier to follow?”

But one of the over-riding themes of the Apostle Paul is that we should “Carry each others burdens.”

Some people, because they have experienced a lot of pain - mentally, physically, emotionally, find that being nasty comes easy and being nice comes hard.

They’ve been hurt so many times they have become past masters at hurting back.

So, when someone is giving you a hard time, remember that often it isn’t personal. You are just a substitute for the real thing. And if it is personal? Be nice anyway. You might just change their way of thinking.

BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM a SERIES on this Wyrick’s Writings site entitled ANGER IS A KILLER. It began Thursday January 6, 2010.

“Do you enjoy visiting friends? More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.

Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?

Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often. Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.

Some visit anger seldom . Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew.”
