📖Daily Reading
1 Thessalonians 3-5
Join me on my morning walk as we rise and shine together by walking through the Bible daily and learn a practical applicable coaching nugget from the ultimate life coach - our creator (whatever that means to you). No judgement zone here, all are welcome, we are all on a spiritual journey because we are after all spiritual beings having a human experience.
📝 Reflection
1 Thessalonians 4: 11-12, 5: 12-13
'Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others. '
The word respect was mentioned more than once in my reading this morning of chapters 3-5 of this short but powerful letter. Paul is encouraging them that one of the marks of their love and faith and living in the way of love is that they will show respect to each other and to those in their community.
They are also encouraged to show respect to the leaders with in the community and to also show respect to those who are struggling in the community. Those who are struggling with laziness, weakness or even timidity are also deserving of respect and to be encouraged and treated with patience, tenderness and kind warnings.
I love how they are told to make it their goal to live a quiet life, minding their own business and working with their hands. This is to ensure that they live peacefully and earning respect from their neighbors and surrounding communities. This is how they can be a light. By BEING a light and being light to live by and with not a heavy burden and not trying to impose their way. Just by being they are showing and earring respect and inviting curiosity with their way of life.
✍🏼Daily Journal Prompt
Bringing good news by being good neighbors💖 within the community and without. Humans deserve respect. We are all made in the image of God. We are all loved by God perfectly even with our perceived imperfections. We need to encourage each other by treating each other with respect no.matter.what. How can you be more respectful? Are you tolerating being disrespected? My mom always reminds me that we teach people how to treat us. Pretty wise words!
