Celebrating the Virtue of Respect
Respect,
reverence, acceptance, and admiration come from a heart which is devoted completely to the Lord.
A respectful person…
• treats himself/herself and everyone else with equal consideration and courtesy
• uses a positive tone of voice and body language
• avoids swearing, namecalling, put-downs, and inappropriate gestures
• says ‘Excuse me’, ‘Please’, ‘Pardon me’
• avoids gossip
We all deserve to be shown courtesy, consideration, sensitivity and thoughtfulness, which are different ways of saying respect. RESPECT should come first and foremost from us. We have to respect ourselves and then we will be able to respect others. We should also be able to expect to be treated with respect by everyone we meet – our brothers and sisters in Jesus. Sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. Keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who abuse you for your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame. 1 Peter 3:15-16

Growing Success
