It amazes Me to see the lack of consideration that many have towards others. When you see people as I see them, you will not fall into the fleshly trap of seeing yourself above others. When you see yourself above others, you will be judgmental and critical of them. You also will often be rude to others.
I want you to have My view of people. I died for the whole world. When you encounter people today, remember that I died to save them as well as you.
Consider the following truths from My Word before you call someone a "jerk" or evil. Paul exhorted believers to speak evil of no man. The evil you see in others is instigated by Satan. You are not fighting a flesh and blood battle. You are warring against demonic forces that display their fruits in others. Keep this in mind when you encounter difficult people. I have called you to love your enemies, to bless those who curse you, to do good to those who hate you, and to pray for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you. When you consider these truths, you will not be prideful. Instead, you will esteem others higher than yourself.
