“Dinner” with the enemy

My group of friends and I really didn’t like the way this one girl was acting. She was rude, and she put others down to make herself look good. She’d also singled me out for particularly bad treatment.

I’ll be honest: I spent a lot of time feeling appalled by her behavior and pretty self-righteous about my own. How could anyone act like that? I didn’t like it and I didn’t get it.

I think of Christ Jesus as my go-to expert on relationships.
