Aren't people interesting? Our world is so huge and varied, and there are so many different types of people, different personalities, different interests and interpretations. I love how God put us in this place and called us to interact with everyone we come in contact with in such a way that His name is glorified (whether you get along well or not).
I've learned a few things lately, namely that God loves us, whether or not we love each other or are loving towards each other. And I am so thankful for His grace and mercy and forgiveness, because He surely knows I ain't perfect and screw up regularly. And because of this, He is teaching me to show the same grace to those around me, because they're just as messed up as I am (but maybe in different ways). I have no reason to judge, because who's to say I wouldn't have responded in the same way or done the same things if I were in someone else's shoes?
God made people. And He loves people. Therefore He calls me to love people. And so I try. I mess up, but He forgives. And that hope of grace gets me through each day with all of its mistakes and trials.
