What words can do

As I stand on a bridge over looking the world I can see those that try and remain joyful about God and life. They make it a point daily to see the good in everyone and the power God gives us to lift others up with words. We are not our brothers keeper so we give it to God and when given a chance to speak to others give them words God would want them to hear. We can't always get along with someone but we can pray for their well being and love them from a distance. That's the best way to handle someone who is a defiant trouble maker. When they disrupt your peace and you've spent years trying to get along and it's like oil and water you don't have to carry on with a relationship with them just pray and give them to God. Doing this God will guide the situation as he see fit. Thank you Heavenly Father.
