Respect is a powerful word! You either have it or you don’t. It can build character, lend a helping hand and beautify your surroundings. Without respect there is damage to relationships, hurt feeling and destructiveness.
What do you admire? What do you hold in highest regard? What would you protect at all cost? Do you respect yourself? Those things or persons we respect or those things we hold dear to us, show others the kind of person we are or the kind of person we are striving to become.
We can give all mankind respect allowing them their right to choose even when their choices and opinions are contrary to our own ways and desires. Jesus Christ showed deep respect as he loved and helped all of God’s children regardless of their actions or living conditions.
Take the time to reflect and ask yourself, “What do I Respect?”
