I have been wrestling with myself for a bit of time. I recently became aware (was convicted) that I do not love people like Jesus did. Most of the time, I don't even like people. We are gossipy, cruel, vengeful...I could go on. I think my thoughts are under seige. I have been (verbally) fighting with some family members, too. What is wrong with me? I didn't even want to go to Church this past Sunday because I didn't want to think snide thoughts in my head about the people there. (I still went though!) How awful do I sound? Why do I have such am angry disposition right now...

 My guess is that if your disposition is anger, then you may be separated from God.  People do let us down, we are all sinners.  But God is faithful to never let us down.  If we are in alignment with Jesus, then we will love each other as He loved the church.  I had a similar situation I just dealt with.  I have a lot of inch deep mile wide relationships.  I am convicted as well.  I realized only yesterday that I was separated from God because of my own sins.  I would recommend you seek His forgiveness, and ask His Holy Spirit give you the power to "love" others.  Check out the Word By Mail message "Divine Forgiveness".  For scripture check out: James 1:19-20, Ephesians 4:32 , and Colossians 3:12-14.  I pray you read and rest in these scriptures.  May God bless you. :-)
