My husband needed to get a tiny piece of plastic out of another piece of plastic\u2026it was frustrating. He knew there had to be a trick, but couldn\u2019t figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now we all know that people can be frustrating as well. Perhaps these are the times that are most difficult for us. But if we look at Scripture, there are a lot of words that speak to this topic. Take a look.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDo to others as you would have them do to you.\u201d<\/em> (Luke 6:31 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCarry each other\u2019s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.\u201d<\/em> (Galatians 6:2 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBe completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.\u201d<\/em> (Ephesians 4:2 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.\u201d<\/em> (Colossians 3:13 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And here are a few passages to look up about loving one another: John 13:34-35; 1 Corinthians 13; 1 Peter 4:8; and 1 John 4:7-8.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Mason got his frustration cured. The piece finally popped out. For me, I\u2019m still working.
