Difficult people are part of life. And part of kingdom living is ministering to difficult people; it comes with the territory.
We could think of Jeremiah, who spent a large part of his ministry being persecuted by the ones he was called to serve. We could also think of Isaiah, who was told prior to his calling that God's people wouldn't listen to him. And there is Abigail who was united in marriage to a difficult man. And Paul, who spoke of many disciples who had done him harm, like Demas, Alexander the coppersmith, Hymenaeus, Philetus, and his fellow countrymen who ceaselessly persecuted him.
And then there is also Samuel. He had a difficult row he had to hoe. He was confronted by the elders of Israel and told that his services no longer were desired or needed in Israel.
