How to Confront Toxic People

A toxic person is angry, rude, boastful, envious, unforgiving, prideful, selfish and they delight in evil. So, their life is completely fruitless.

If you are a loving person:  you are patent, kind, truthful, hopeful, forgiving, hopeful, persevering, protective of others and you have an abundance of fruit in your life.

The toxic person is there to live off your fruit. This is the mistake we make. We think we are being loving by allowing a toxic person to live off our fruit. But in reality we are enabling them to remain who they are--toxic. So, the truth is that we are not being kind. We are not really being truthful. We are not really protecting them by allowing them to live off our fruit.

If you want to confront—and you should confront—a toxic person, if you love them. You don’t do it so you can be fruitful. You do it so that they can be fruitful.

So, you go to this person and you say:  I am sorry. I tried. But I can no longer allow you to do these things, because I love you. Love is your defense and your offense. If you love a toxic person you won’t help that person be toxic.

Think about it.

Trust God’s Word no matter what, because His word is truth.

 Keep your eyes on the horizon.
