"Looking for the Good In People"
Because of the basic goodness of their hearts, there are those who are always trying to see or look for the good in others. You can often hear them make such comments as, there is some good in everyone. Well, that is partially right, because even though it might be very negligible, there can be some good in everyone. One problem though, is that not everyone allows their good side to come out. I am sure that some of you have met people who seemed as if they did not have a friendly bone in their body, so to speak, or someone who never seemed to crack a smile at any time. Some of you have met people who tended to always be grouchy and just plain old miserable human beings. It is a lovely soul that tries to believe there is something good in everyone, but the truth is, there are those who tend to keep their so-called good side under lock and key, and only a very few people can ever seem to unlock it.
Bless the hearts of those of you who want to believe that there is some good to be found in everyone, because that means at least your heart is in a good place. It can be difficult at times to find the good in some people, which can often mean there is very little of it to be found. I realize that many of you who wish to find some good in most people do not want to believe in the pure evilness of people, but it is true, some people are just evil to the core. Just like you want to believe there can be some good in some people, you also need to believe there is evil in some people as well. I do not want some of you with kind hearts to be deceived or misled because of wanting to believe in the goodness of some people. It is always nice to be trusting, but also be wise enough to realize that not everyone can be trusted or believed. Such a day when everyone can be trusted to be good and honest is coming, but the time is not yet here. Now may your kind and lovely heart be wise as well, in and through JESUS CHRIST, your Lord, Savior, and King.
AMEN
