As a disciple of Jesus we should demonstrate patience, compassion, mercy, and love. These are just a few of the characteristics that should be employed in our lives when living life with other people. When we have opportunity to interact with another human that shares this God-given planet with us it would do us some good to give each other the benefit of the doubt.
There are times that I could easily be offended or hurt by your words and actions and there are certainly times that you might be offended or hurt by my words and actions. Let’s just do each other a favor and assume that no one meant to hurt anyone. Is it naive? Maybe so, but I would rather live being naive and deal with being blind in my lack of experience than to live placing blame and more hurt upon more hurt.
Jesus says,
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:12
I love you.
