If You Really Care, Show It

Good Morning, T.G.I.F. Thank God I'm Forgiven...It's Been A Great Week!! Respect for others is the most essential trait, that one can posses. Respect is reciprocal; " What goes around comes around." In other words, if you want to be respected, you must respect others. If you don't give it, then you won't get it back. People know when you value and respect them,...and they know when you don't. You can't hide disrespect. People understand your attitude instinctively,...even when they can't put it into words.

And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.—Exodus 2:25 (KJV)

In a society obsessed with social status and wealth, it's important to recognize that we all fall short of meeting God's standards. None of us can respect another person if we think we're morally superior. But remember this: Jesus saved his harshest criticism for religious hypocrites,...for those people who respected no one but themselves.Think of all the people with whom you come into regular contact,...family, friends and colleagues. They all touch your life in some unique or special way. How many of those people know that you respect them for what they do and who they are? You may admire them and need them,...but have you said so? Tell them. Show them. Give them the respect they deserve. Make your respect for them tangible. It's what makes the world go round.

Every person is a human being created in the image of God with a purpose and place in life.

If we operate by this standard, we dignify others. We show them respect.

" People always pay more attention to how you live than to what you say.

Remember that when you desire to speak into the lives of others."
(Running with the Giants, John Maxwell, p. 101)

"It's so easy for people wonder if God really loves them, especially when bad things happen. And that's just what Satan wants, for us to doubt God,...to doubt His Word, and His Power."
