“Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourself.” Phil. 2:3b
Can
you imagine what kind of world this would be if people would treat
others better than they would treat themselves? It would change all
relationships within our community, the church and our nation.
Instead
we disrespect, mock and treat each other as if we do not value each
other. When I hear someone make fun of another person (especially if it
is towards one of my kids) my heart grieves. I have made it clear that I HATE
sarcasm and the excuse I get from people is.....oh, it's just their way of
joking, it doesn't mean anything or my favorite reply, "don't be so
sensitive." My answer is, what gives you the right to treat me or someone else with such lack of respect? It's no one's right to criticize
or humiliate another person for a laugh!
