We all have a few people in our lives who are like sandpaper to us; some are like an entire package of sandpaper. Believe it or not, God places them in our lives to smooth off our rough edges. We’re all like diamonds in the rough; we have something incredibly beautiful and valuable underneath the hard, crusty surface of our flesh. Joyce Meyer Says When God began to work spiritual maturity in her, He placed several people in her life who were extremely difficult for her to deal with. She thought they needed to change, but God wanted to use them to change her. We need to learn how to deal with all kinds of people and appreciate the ways they’re different from us.
