Respect and Kindness Is the Way

 
"Respect Begets Respect."

                                Proverb

I look at all people with value and significance and respect,
it does not matter if they are a friend or a beggar on the street:
or a food charity person, no matter what, they are fellow humans,
I never consider them irrelevant, or not important, or a threat;
and would never talk down to them, demean, or belittle,
or be condescending, this is what God wants me to do!

I will never judge others for what has happened in their life,
for my own journey has not been easy so I understand:
there are pitfalls and detours, there is grief, sadness, illness,
fear and worry to overcome, I found the strength and courage;
to move forward and heal my life, I care not about a person's,
appearance, gender, race, age, this is what Gods wants of me! 

I embrace the spirit of God and the human spirit each day,
and follow God's path of love in daily life, and of kindness:
to each person I interact with on my journey, its simple to do,
just treat each person with respect, it will make you happy;
your own life will be improved, as the old proverb says,
"Respect Begets Respect," this is what God wants me to do! 

My unique way is with tranquility, serenity and calm,
I have taught myself to let go of judgement and anger:
my tools are prayers, meditation, intentions, commitments,
being thankful, mindful, and embracing that things change;
nothing stays the same, there is always hope for better days,
and if my words can change a life, then God has taught me well!

Stephan McBride Date: 1/9/2023 10:02:00 AM Sounds easy enough : ). But as we see from the beginning , by human alone its impossible, but through Christ all things are possible that gives humility,love, calmness, gentleness, forgiveness ,non judgemental, peace, new heart and mind with a longing to help the lost , remembering that we were lost and only Christ brought us out not of our own doing, so we should only be boastful of what God has done in our life and reveal the light God has placed within to be a light to a blinded soul in need Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 1/9/2023 12:24:00 PM Stephan, thank you so much for the visit, comment of inspiring words, and compliment on my poem, blessings, Constance Stephan McBride Date: 1/9/2023 10:12:00 AM If we could be good in our own works are enter the kingdom by living by laws then Jesus death is in vain,.
