Choosing a Perspective

It seems to me that how we view the people around us is completely dependent on our chosen perspective. Especially if those people aren't wired just like us. For example, we can choose to say that someone is:

Narrow-minded. Only looking after their own concerns.
or that they are
Focused. They are dedicated to their task at hand.

We can say that someone is:

Rigid. Only want things done their way.
or
Organized. They have a process for accomplishing things.

We can say someone is:

Distracted. Unable to see a project to completion.
or
Multitasking. Accomplishing so many things at once.

Someone who is A.D.D. may be functioning in a very fluid creativity! Or the person who is alway cheerful isn't clueless to reality, they just trust the Lord. It is up to us to choose to view people as the Lord created them and the see the best in them.

"Accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory." Romans 15:7

How will you choose?
