Meeting People
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. (Kent M. Keith, American writer and educator)
That’s a pretty negative view of people, isn’t it? All generalizations—like that one, of course—are wrong. You probably have many friends who are happy, reasonable, logical, and self-controlled. Very likely, Keith’s point is that no matter the attitude, disposition, or pride of someone we might meet, we should respond with kindness and encouragement.
The Apostle Paul to Philemon: “I keep hearing about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God’s people” (Philemon 1:5).
