Oh yes! As a Christian, I'm called to love others, even those that hate me! And believe me, I've had my share of that, simply for being a believer in Jesus Christ! Some prople are SO HATEFUL towards God that the will do ANYTHING just to aggrivate His children!
As I have opportunity, I just look for ways to be a blessing to others in His name, following HIS example! Jesus "went about doing good" (Acts 10:38), and He calls those of us who are SAVED by Him to do the same!
Right now, there's a woman where I work that pretty much EVERYONE can't stand! She's older, a drunk, and VERY "cantankerous" (old word for EXTREMELY difficult to get along with, just an OLD GROUCH!). But I believe she just needs someone to show her some KINDNESS, and I've noticed that as I do so, like just SMILING at her and saying "Hello!", to me, she doesn't seem QUITE that mean any more!
We ALL have people in our lives like that, I'm sure, and really, we have NO idea what kind of "personal problems" they may be going through. I know that sometimes, I can be the MOST UNLOVELABLE person on earth; and it's in those times that I need people to be MORE understanding and kind! I've found that, as others act that way in response to my "moodiness", I tend to "chill out" on the grumpiness and complaining! So, I try to "practice what I preach", and you know what? IT REALLY WORKS!!! Like they say, "You get more flies with honey than with vinegar!"

All the time--even if it is just coming up with a dime the person in front of me doesn't have to complete a purchase, or to hold open a door. It's amazing how incredible doing those little things can make you feel.
