We all see things from a different "point of view". Even our point of view is skewed by what we think is our POV. You may have a POV of a man, a woman, black, white, rich, poor, American, or from a third world. Everything that happens to you in your life lends to how we think and feel. If you have a bad day at work,if you have been abused, robbed, suffered great loss, these all change our POV. So now we add more into it; all our daily crap, inflation, bad weather, sickness, problems at home, car issues and the dog just ate your remote! Now, Christ tells us to love one another as you would love yourself. With all of this going on in our lives; you might ask HOW? Here is how:
1. Do Not Make Assumptions!
2. Do Not Judge
3. Choose LOVE
4. Be Kind
5. Be Patient
6. Do not blame.
And again do not make assumptions!! Do not assume you know why someone is having a difficult time making it in life and never assume that it is all about you! That you have had it so bad that no one could have it worse than you. That you work harder and pay more. Get over yourself. Chances are if your are reading this blog you are middle class, living in the USA, you may or may not have a job right now, but you have a roof over your head, have hot running water and you have eaten THIS WEEK! We have become so accustomed to our luxuries in life that we feel entitled to have them; our slice of the pie; our fair share. We are all born into this life with nothing and with nothing we will leave. I guess that kind of levels the playing field, don't ya think?
