Get Along With Others

Sometimes you just want to slap a person and wonder why on earth this person entered your life in the first place.

But before we go slapping people around, maybe it wouldn't hurt us to read this little devotional and keep it handy for all those times when you think a little slap could go a long way in helping people.

Let's be honest, sometimes I think God as why to much from us and if He really understood the issue, well He would let us slap the silly out of them.

But somehow, His way always seem to win with a little slip every now and again and when those times occur, I'm thankful for the words written below.

God Bless.

Get Along with Others

Adapted from the resource Starting Your Day Right - by Joyce Meyer

Guess what: we can learn to get along with people! Even though it gets really hard sometimes, with God’s help, it is possible. It’s especially important to learn to get along with our immediate family members and co-workers, because they’re the ones we do life with day in and day out. There are many informative books about personality differences to help us understand why people feel and act the way they do. Understanding can do so much to help smooth out strained relationships.

People make decisions differently. Some give an immediate answer, while others want time to think about things. Try to understand the people you see today. Ask God to show you ways to get along with them better. As you trust Him, He’ll guide your steps and give you favor with the people around you.

Prayer Starter: Father, thank You for being there for me as I navigate relationships. Please show me how I can understand and love others better. Help me to do what’s right in each situation, and then trust You with the outcome. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
