Integrity towards others

In loving people, you have to respect people.  Know that they are human and they were placed here just like you.  Some of us are not at peace because we are not respecting people.  Respecting others will allow you to love yourself and love people.  Also, you should represent yourself.  Everything we do is representing ourselves.  Why do you want to put yourself down?  People observe everything we do.  It’s always somebody watching us.  If we are not respecting others, we will not gain any relationships and people will see what we are all about. 
 
Respecting people helps you to gain relationships. When we disrespect people, we hurt others but we mainly hurt ourselves.  If you want to be happy and have peace in your life, start respecting others.  In respecting others, you may get stepped on and feel like you’re wasting your time.  You’re not.  People will make you feel that way but don’t give up.  You see, when you respect people and they reject you, it’s their problem.  They’re not happy with their life.  When you don’t accept them for being positive or negative, it becomes your problem.  Always remember that statement in your life.  When people disrespect you, I’m sure you get mad.  How do you think it feels when the tables are turned?   It’s not a good thing.  Love people by respecting them and you will see happiness and peace come your way.
 
 
RESPECT
 
Have respect for others and yourself too
Because it’s important for all of us to do
 
Represent yourself with class and always know
You are special and have a remarkable glow
 
Control your actions in what you say and do
Learn how to do that in order to get through
 
Life with a smile each and every day
Respect will give you that joy in every way
 
We deal with people on the job and at home
If you don’t respect others, you will find yourself alone
 
That’s the truth I must say
Because people would not give you the time of the day
 
Have a desire to respect others everywhere you go
You will receive respect back and everybody will grow
 
In love and wisdom to do God’s will
To respect one another and always feel
 
The joy from God interacting with others
That’s why we are here, to help one another.
 
To receive respect, you have to give respect.  Represent yourself well and represent God by Respecting all people.

MATTHEW 7:12
 
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
