My view on people is always naturally 'good'. I give everyone who deserves a second chance, a second chance. I act interested in what people are saying when I really might not be interested. I smile and nod as you talk about yourself even when I am reeling inside from my own problems and issues.
I DO ALL OF THIS OUT OF LOVE FOR YOU.
Even if you have not particularly earned my undivided attention and care, you have it. God gave me this 'view' on others. To treat them equally. No matter what the problems, the sin, the issues, the good or the bad... I genuinely care. Even if I am struggling so hard to care for you, the care is still there. I may have swung and missed in this area a few times in my past. I grew into this. It was fun to see the change. People who know me have seen this change.
I know there are people who will love me NO MATTER WHAT... just as I love them. That nearly unconditional love from friends and family is something amazing. I just wish that some other people that I love would at least act as if they cared for me that much. It's a big wish. Someday when we are all in our eternal home, it will happen. Love, requited, all around. Until that day... here is a concept to be attentive to and practice within our lives. No matter what our faith is, let us all put this into effect while we are still here:
