WHAT PEOPLE ARE LIKE…8.18.09
by SteveMary Piper tells a story about a visitor asking an old rancher what the people are like in his region. The rancher responded: “What are the people like where you come from?” “They’re mean, sneaky rascals,” the traveler said. “That’s the way they are here, too,” the rancher replied.
Then another man came along and asked the rancher the same question. The rancher again asked the man what the people are like where he’s from. The traveler said, “They’re great people…honest, kind-hearted, and high-spirited.” The rancher replied: “That’s the way you’ll find the people here, too.”
I think we might be surprised to find how nice and sociable people can be when we are the same to tthem. It’s the way Jesus would be.

In other words,when I have experienced alot of God’s love its amazing how everyone else appears to be so much more loving. Kinda like the old saying goes, “Everyone looks better when you are a little drunk” (not necessarily on alcohol).
You got the point exactly!
