Horrible or Human?

A question that came to me today, one that we may not actually come across very often knowingly, but also one we come across very frequently. On a daily basis we see "horrible" people, maybe its someone on the news who's committed a murder or led a robbery.Now your probably thinking, "wow what a horrible person to have done that." Are they really horrible people though? Or rather horrible actions? All humans were created in Gods image, then when the first act of sin occurred, the original product so to speak got tainted. Even after that however, we were all created in Gods image so to say that people are "horrible" is like saying God made a mistake somewhere... God doesn't make mistakes, he does however give us a choice. Our choices as human beings can be horrible and our actions that result from those choices can be horrible. So when you really think about it, theirs no such thing as a horrible person but rather horrible choices and actions. No one is truly horrible, some of us may be lost or searching, some of us haven't found God. Some of us have done some horrible things but that doesn't have to be the end, there's a chance for redemption, a chance for salvation to still occur. Are we going to be a people that call others of our kind, other creations of our God "horrible". Or are we going to be a people that sees someone who may have gone wrong somewhere and tries to help them, be the light among the dark in there life. If we love God, then we should love all he has created. If we don't love all he has created , then how can we truly love him? Instead of immediately calling someone horrible, lets remember that just like us, they are human. They might have made some mistakes along the way or done some horrible things but no person is "horrible". Lets make it our duty as followers of Christ to love all he has created and therefore not only strengthen our love in him but maybe be blessed enough to have the opportunity to show others his love as well.
