Dont Give Up On Difficult Friends · Sunday 4 October 2026

I'd like to talk about how sometimes the people you might not like could end up being the people who need you the most - and need you to show God's light.

I have a friend who sometimes doesn't listen, who sometimes just doesn't make sense. At first I was ready to quit. But I remembered how everyone quit on Moses, and then he suddenly helped everyone - he freed the children of Israel from the king of Egypt. So I didn't give up. I wanted to help him, and it turned out he needed more help - God's help. So I prayed for him and prayed for him, and then we suddenly started getting along. Which was kind of funny, because I thought he and I would never, ever be friends.

God puts those people in our life for a reason. Don't just shun them away because maybe they're a little bit too much. Don't give up on them. Show them the light. Show them Jesus.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

What did the Lord say to you while reading this — and what will you do about it before the week is out?
