Jesus taught us 'unconditional' love. Which means that if someone is a different color than I am, has different beliefs than I do, I am to love them anyway... NO MATTER WHAT! I do not have to love or condone their behaviors or their beliefs, just look deeper into that person to the child of God within and love them. My children and grandchildren have helped me to practice this when their behaviors were totally inappropriate. I wasn't to love their behaviors, only to love them.... and I have. I have loved and been very grateful for all my friends. Those I've known for years and those for a short time.
All my friends are a blessing to me. And thank God I have been given the blessing of being able to love everyone, unconditionally, just as my Lord and Savior instructs me to.
I try to see everyone with God's eyes, not my own.
