Growing!!!

So I was told today that I've grown. My first response was that I had been on vacation and was allowed to eat ALL that I wanted. (very funny, I know) But she meant that I've grown more mature and that I seem to be clear headed and humble. I, at first, thought that she meant I no longer acted like a teenager, but she said that we all have 2 sides. A good side, a bad side, a future and a past. And if I'm to love someone that means I need to embrace both sides of a person. I think I'm trying to do that with more than one person. Think about it, we love our family, friends, our pets, and even our neighbors. My challenge to everyone is simply said, are you willing to embrace both sides of a person who you love? I would hope to think that most everyone would say "YES" but there are a few people who forget that no one is PERFECT that people make mistakes all the time and its up to them to learn from those mistakes. It doesn't matter if someone has a good side or a bad side. What matters most is that we are all willing to not pass judgment onto others especially when we ourselves don't want to be judged. I just ask that everyone try their hardest to look past the good and bad side's of people. We are all told to be a friend to everyone no matter what. That means, even if someone doesn't be a Friend to you, that you keep being a friend to them. Someone once said that they will only put forth effort into a relationship/friendship if the other person does too. Well God says differently and when he said "love one another" it didn't mean you pick and choose who, it means that you forgive and forget and love. So look beyond the good and bad side and see the person within.
