I try to see them as they could be with Christ in their life. I also wonder about if they had abuse or neglect and never learned what agape love is. I try to remember that every single person alive has been given at least one gift that can be used for good. Finally, I remember that God has not given up on the imperfect me, so, what right do I, a human, have in giving up on others. We are assigned to love them but we don't have to like the sin they choose to do. That is like God loves the sinner and hates the sin. That does not mean that they don't have consequences to their behavior..that is necessary for their training just like God allows consequences for us in order to perfect our characters. How can we do any less? One of the secrets I learned from my very popular brother is to not see them at their chronological age but at their emotional age and treat them accordingly. God bless...Mmm

This can be very hard indeed. With most people we can see the Christ in them somewhere. I usually can. But there are those, I expect mostly in prison, where I am told that it is hard to see Christ in them. And when we are angry it is impossible to see it in them at all. This is because of us, not because it isn't there in them.

people today can make that hard.
Many people are rude,arragant,and can be "sunny day" friends (there when things are good and they get what they want from a relationship).
everyone sins and no one is "good".
real friends are rare and hard to find.

"Good" and "Bad" are relative concepts, YOU can't find anything "good" in people based on your definition (or the definition that has been drummed or programmed into you by others), but that doesn't mean people in general have no "good" in them..

Let it come to you. If it doesn't, and you're good in spirit, you'll find one another.

I don't. If it is there it reveals itself. If it is not I move on
