I am amazed by some of the posts I read on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. There are times when I can easily become disenchanted
with reading my news feed on Facebook because it is full of negativity-no
matter what your political affiliation happens to be.
Despite my own personal, religious, and political convictions, I
realize and respect that other people hold different and opposing views than
me. Too often, people feel that they should only mesh with people who are of
similar belief, culture, nationality, race, gender, or income level.
The truth is that God wants us to treat EVERYONE with the
same mercy, kindness, forgiveness, civility, and compassion as Jesus did. And what about good manners? I am not sure if it’s because I am more in
tune with what people say to each other now that I am 'plugged in', but where
has the common courtesy gone to these days?
I realize that I personally have a lot to learn and am not
being self-righteous; I guess I am just wondering why people can't try to get
along more often; we just aren't living together the way God intended us to....
