Ugly people

Everything is so new in my mind... fresh to process.  I think God is bringing me to a place where I can love people, even their ugly side.  I am realizing that the reason I control my situations is because I'm afraid of people seeing my weakness.  I'm afraid of people seeing the ugly sides of me and of my friends and defining me by them.  So, what if I do make a mistake?  The people I used to hold back are here in front of me now.  I have to face them, and accept them.  I need to look at the ugly side and still love.  Lord, you love us and you know everything.  Teach me to love even when I see everything.
