God is good,

and I believe he made everything to be good as well. It is sin that creeped in and created the bad. He made you to be good, He made me to be good. When faced with individuals that come across as inherently and blatantly mean, consider that. Chances are, something hard or terrible in their life probably sparked the negativity that has now clouded the light God placed within them. And regardless of how scarred, torn, or tattered a person may be, God wants them to come to Him. Not only that, but He treasures them. They haven't lost their value as His child. All who are lost, He desires to be found. We need to share the love and compassion, even though it may be the most difficult thing we have ever done. If we are to truly serve our Father and further His kingdom, we have to sacrifice our personal feelings and pride. We must live our lives for the One who gifted us life.
