Casting your Pearls...

Casting your Pearls...

I know you are kind... You are loving and you have a lot of grace for people. I've seen you explain things to people who show you no respect and you handle it so admirably...

But... Those people who are always disrespectful and nasty are sometimes just fulfilling their "ministry" to steal people's joy. Sometimes you have to move on and stop casting your pearls...

I learned this the hard way when I first started ministering. I was at a church and dealing with 3 people after the service in the prayer room who were frantic for my help and kept talking and telling their problems to me so I would know how to pray for their deliverance...

They kept me occupied for an hour and a half until all those who were waiting to be prayed for had finally given up waiting and left... As soon as that happened that everyone else was gone, all three abruptly left as well with no explanation and no prayer.

When I prayed about it the Lord told me they were just there to fulfill their assignment to take up and waste my time so I wouldn't have time for those who really wanted my help.
Yes it happens on Facebook too...

*I don't say things like this lightly. I give people every opportunity but we need to exercise wisdom...
