When everyone around you loves you, it’s nearly impossible to develop the character God wants for His children. Reasonable people do not aid your growth in the same way arrogant people do. We don’t display Christian love when we love those who love us. It is when we love those who slander us that we demonstrate the love of Christ (Matt. 5:44–45). Find joy in sanctification. Challenge yourself to grow to the point where you become thankful for difficult people.
