Do you have ONE of these people in your life right now?

#1 Gentleness is Disarming

We can ONLY control our response

Proverbs 25:15 "Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone."
#2 There is a WOUND BEHIND THE WEAPON
Proverbs 20:5 "The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out."

Why do you act like that?  
Behavior is a Window into the Heart
When we see beyond behavior to brokenness, changes everything
Decoding Difficult Behavior
#3 BIBLICAL BOUNDARIES Are Appropriate
Proverbs 22:24-25 "Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared."
Galatians 6:2,5 — "Carry each other's burdens... for each one should carry their own load" 
Jesus Set Boundaries
# 4 Leave Room For God 
Romans 12:19  "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath…
1 Peter 2:23 "When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly."  
Sometimes we are the Difficult Person
