RESPECT


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: RESPECT

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Text 1 Thessalonians 5:11 KJV
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Colossians 4:6 KJV
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

We start teaching our children from a young age to treat others as they would want to be treated, to speak as they would want to be spoken to, and to share as they would want to be shared with. However, as adults, we sometimes forget this basic instruction. If we ask ourselves, "Do I follow the teachings of my childhood?" most people in the world would probably answer, "No, I don't." As children of God, what is our answer?

We know what it should be. In Matthew 7:12, Christ exhorts us to follow this principle of respect: "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

We all want to be treated with respect. Everyone desires to be treated as someone of value or worth. To be respected is a great human need. Therefore, we need to ask ourselves, "Do we always extend to others the same level of respect that we desire for ourselves?"

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME. DESTROY EVERY SPIRIT OF PROUD IN US AND CLOTH US WITH RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER.
