Mean People...

This morning I commented on a blog about how to deal with "mean people".  I had no idea I was going to have an encounter with a "mean person" today.   I was really put to the test though!  What does this mean???  How did I handle it???  I mainly walked away and did not talk to her, then talked to 2 of her supervisors about what she is doing and saying to hurt me and others (in tears of course).  This is a person who needs to have complete control over everything that is happening around her.  Why?? Only God knows.  Maybe she is hurting inside.  Maybe she doesn't realize what she is doing??  Only God knows.  How much better am I being by talking to others about her and what she is doing??  

Luke 6:27 Says...Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. I thought about this verse all the way home.  I can pray for her....that is something I can do!  Hurt people need to be healed! Only the power of God can heal. And we need to remember our real enemy isn't the people who hurt us, but Satan, who uses those people against us.
