What do you do when someone dislikes/resents you? Do you ask for forgiveness...or pray for God to allow you to forgive them for disliking you? Or both? I think usually we just stop associating with that person and move on.
What if it's a close family member?
Maybe this is just practice for if I ever have teenage children of my own; if it is, I don't think I do well with family disliking & resenting me, and I'll be in trouble then.
Jesus declared new siblings and parents for himself; somehow I don't think that's the model he had in mind for us.
So what do we do? How do we reconcile within ourselves an irreconcilable relationship?
