       There is time for correction and redirection, but sometimes we just need to put up with, or ignore, other people’s troublesome or bothering traits. When we look at people, we should be focusing on what is good about them, and not just on what we perceive to be wrong, or what actually is wrong with them. This also allows us to display our attitude of humility. By focusing on the good in them, that leaves us no time for the bad. This is what love does. It thinks the best of everyone. If we see something that we feel a person needs to work on, one thing we can do is pray for them and confess good things for them. This will allow God to lead and help them to make whatever change is necessary over time. Our job is not to be a faultfinder in everyone and tell them what they need to correct or do differently. Think of it this way. If you have to correct something in someone, or something they say, every time you go to church or Bible study, then you have a problem of your own that needs corrected.
