I recently realized my desire to Not deal with negativity🤔 (Let me Qualify that) I understand that everyone is not on the same level. Therefore, we see things differently.
I encourage people (Ro 15:1) and seek to help my brethren. I try to help them find the silver lining in every situation, especially if they are Believers (Ro 8:28). However, when I share hope & encouragement and it is met with more negativity, I just let them talk. When its a situation where I can remove myself, I will. But if I have to remain, I will sit quietly.
Now that I am a Pastor, I understand the need to be watchful and mindful of my actions. Is there a "Best" way to deal with negativity, especially from the body?
