By seeing imperfect persons perfectly. This implies seeing others from who they want to be. In life, we sometimes judge ourself from who we want to be but judge others from who they are. The challenge with this process is that when we judge ourself from who we want to be, it blinds us to our shortcoming but when we judge others from who they are, it blinds us to the strength and we see more of their shortcoming.

Loving others simply means seeing them like we see ourselves. See their pain, see them for their struggles. Every man wears a pain we may never know except we look deeply, some hide their pain in a smile while other moan and grumble to everyone in sight. If our leadership will brighten lives then we must develop the deep eyes needed to see beyond the facial expression or mask of personality that people wear. We need to be in right standing with them, we need to be a reason for a smile for them. We need to appreciate them for their strength.

Life is a school with unending lessons, many are the challenges wrought with this lessons. Everybody  and every experience has a role to play in shaping our life. Some people impact us by their presence, some we feel better in their absence but in all, we must learn to be a friends to them. Being a friend to others is more important than whether they are a friend to us. Being a friend means impacting on them from the wealth of your knowledge and experience. Every friend represents a world in us, a world waiting to be born, a world born when that friend arrives in our life but the ultimate test of out friendship is not what that friend benefits us rather its the wealth we are able to impact on that friend. The important truth we enable them see, the times we were their strength, the  things we made them see, the new world we opened to them- that is true friendship.

A friend in need is a friend indeed, when we see others as people in need of guidance and assistance and then render that assistance, we are then a prayer answered.
