His Image

It's so easy to forget to see His image in the faces of people we can't stand.

Those who get on our nerves or offend us, those who bother us, annoy us, or make unreasonable demands on our patience.

How do we remember to see these folks not just as a pain in the rear, but as the focus of a love eternal? That dufus who drives me up the wall is the apple of the eye of a Creator so generous He offers His own Spirit for the asking.

Why can't I see that in real time? Why only after I reflect? Why sometimes not even then?

Why can't I remember that others probably have just as hard a time seeing His image in me?
