R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Is it possible to be friends with someone you don't have any respect for? This question has been bugging me a lot lately. I feel like, as a Christian, I struggle with knowing that I need to love the people around me but can I feel love for someone whose life disgusts me, who I don't trust, whose personal integrity is a joke? I mean, how can I be FORCED to respect someone. I don't know.

"Respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself. Depth of integrity, trust, complementary moral values, and skill are necessary components."-wikipedia


Romans 12:10
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves."
