It gets easier, especially if the person is not continuing to hurt others. I could give a personal example. My sister several years ago told me that our father, to whom I was extremely close (Daddy's girl), could not be in Heaven because he didn't go to church every Sunday. I responded that he was the most religious person I ever knew, and also the most forgiving of those who wronged him. As a very young man he was an occasional lay preacher at our Baptist church. He died just after his 48th birthday of pancreatic cancer, leaving six children still at home. There is no way God would not have accepted him. My sister has softened somewhat in the intervening years. Unfortunately, we disagree on practically everything, including politics and Covid. I had it five years ago-once, and she has had every shot and booster and gets Covid with each new shot. We agreed at some point that she and I would never agree, so we cannot discuss anything which would ruffle her feathers.
She has several advanced engineering degrees from RPI, so she is intelligent, but brainwashed. It's like we're from two different families. Still, when I saw the attempt on Trump's life, I immediately called and asked her to pray for Trump even though he is not her cup of tea, and she did. I was amazed at her response. Prayer works!
