The unwinding cable car

I keep thinking to myself that every person has good in them. We have to. I mean, we are created in God's image, and I don't see how any person could be completely wicked. I just feel that sometimes I might be too trusting of people. I want so badly to believe that all people have the abililty to be good doers. I realize, that anyone who has ever loved or been loved does have good in them. God is love, and those who love know of God, and those who loveth not knoweth not God. 1 John 4: 7-8. But there are people who, to me is unfathomable, that have never experienced love. How is that possible?! How is it that a person could live not knowing what love is? There is way too much hate in the world, and I think that love, and most importantly Christ's love is not spread enough. I mean, when the word "christian" is mentioned in the world today, it is mostly seen as a derogatory term. How did that happen? "Christian" is what came from those that laughed at the followers of Christ after he was crucified, which means that "christians" should be "following" Christ. I know this is all redundant, but think about it, to be like Christ, one must love. period. love. love others. love all. Yet with a group of people who are suppose to love, we have become some of the most hated people in our society. I know most of this is because there is a lot of evil and hate in the world, and Christ said that we would be persecuted and hated for following him, but there are a lot of people who are just bitter. I don't care to be hated because I'm a follower of Christ, but just over bitterness... This is a problem that we should continually work on. If we, as christians, had truely loved all, then they wouldn't be so bitter...
