Mosquito

Have you ever met someone for the first time and just knew that you probably wouldn't get along with them? I never go out to judge others, but I do have a pretty good read on ones character. The reason I mention this, is the fact that lately I have been dealing with a situation that is not ordinary for me. Frankly, I can't understand the situation and it has me unbalanced and holding my tongue.

See, ever since I started my new job I have had the privilege to meet tons of new and interesting people. In the process many have gotten to know me. On the other hand, this one girl, has been quite the opposite. In fact, since day one, she has treated me with little regard or respect. It is somewhat of a conundrum. Generally and modestly, I find others are eager to get to know me, and find me insightful. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have attempted to be nice but it only feeds the fire. Typically now, in a day, we may say a few words to one another. It is quite sad. Another thing is that I have to listen to her all day. I can honestly say that I do not believe I have ever met a more annoying individual. Mix whining, fueled with a constant need for attention, to a very insecure woman in a horrible relationship. I hear it all, all day. And when she takes the time to attempt to amuse herself with quirky comments aimed at me, it does not make it easier to hold my words. I have outwardly professed my beliefs. She uses that when possible to attempt to catch me. This broken girl needs love, and help. I try so hard to compose myself during her childish actions. Honestly, I find myself wanting to slam her verbally. I thank the Lord for the will to withhold. Again, I still don't understand why this individual has chosen me to take out her pain. Is it for entertainment? Do I throw out some arrogant facade that would make others want to challenge me? All I know is that she has become a pest to me, and keeps on biting. I have prayed for healing for this person, I just don't know. I don't want my strong personality to over take my passion to follow Christ's will. Please pray.

Lord God, I ask for direction and clarity. I ask You to continue in the life of this girl. She needs to know You and learn to understand how much You love her. Lord, I ask for wisdom and discernment when dealing with these strainful situations. Lord, if I may have a flaw, I give it you. Please draw any weaknesses away from this relationship. Heal this haughty heart Lord. I ask this all in your precious name, Amen.

I think God deliberately puts christians in sticky situations to let our light shine. I've asked myself the same questions many times... I'll be praying for your situation, Sir...!

Update:

Things have been getting much better. She still has character traits that aren't the most pleasing, but I can deal with them. I continue to pray.
