When someone constantly finds fault and stays offended no matter what, that negativity erodes your faith and confidence. The speaker advises honest conversation first, then seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance, and finally setting firm boundaries or ending the relationship if the pattern continues.
People who are perpetually offended. Nothing is ever good enough. If you go out and have a great day, they're going to point out that the weather was bad. If you go to a nice restaurant and have a good meal, they're going to complain about how long you had to wait. If you make an accomplishment, they're going to point out all the times that you failed. And so these are people who just have this mindset where they're constantly complaining. Nothing is ever good enough. I'm not saying at the first sign of any negativity, you cut them off, or if you get in an argument with them, you cut them off. We've got to be gracious with people. But I am saying, if you notice that this is a consistent pattern, And that every time they come around, you go from faith to doubt, something's wrong there. Have a conversation with them, but ultimately obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. You do not need that in your life. You can cut that off.
