Today we wrap up our short series on "Loving the Unlovable" Please turn to Matthew 5:44 and Matthew 18:21-35 and Eph. 4:32. Seek to understand before you seek to be understood. Practice the skill of listening and try to imagine the perspective of the offender. What might have motivated his actions? What was going on in his or her life at the time? Hurting people hurt others. Many times, a person who hurts you is also a victim of hurt. Speak with non-combative yet truthful words.
