Untangling

People are merely people until you start noticing how wonderfully unique everyone is. Walk to class, carouse a grocery store…look at the people. They all have the same inner thought process as you. They are thinking. You are thinking. Some will wear skirts, some jeans, some turbans, some necklaces. Hairstyles. Facial expressions. Conversations.

People are so fascinating, but I think we have forgotten.
We are soon to judge.
Soon to hate,
To become jealous.
We think we know a person until we actually talk to them.

First impressions are too false, too scanty.

People are people too.

When you start thinking about your own hurt, don’t you realize that the people you are passing by on campus might be feeling the same way.

Why are we so afraid of people? Why won’t we talk to people? Why do people make fun of other people?

It’s the lack of the golden rule in our world. Treat others as you would want to be treated. A principal fading.

We are so obsessed with ourselves that we forget about the others out there. Look at all the possibilities. What if people weren’t afraid of each other? What if in ‘Aggie’ lingo, we said Howdy to each other?

Christians are called to love, to be a light shining in the darkness. But if we treat people like dirt, like strangers, we become just as dark.

If no excess of love exists, ‘Christians’ are just the same as everyone else.

We need to see other people as spiritual and show the love.

“No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, God’s love is made complete in us.”

“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

Look around the people. God made them and loves them. We should love them too.

This blog speaks of the importance of unity with other Christians:
