Let's talk about something that's often overlooked in our daily lives, but is super important: honour!
Honour is not just about respecting our parents or those in authority (although, let's be real, that's important too). It's about treating others with dignity, kindness, and respect – regardless of their status, age, or background.
In a world where social media can make us feel like we're in a constant competition for likes, followers, and validation, it's easy to forget that every person we interact with deserves our respect and honour.
So, here are some ways we can show honour to others:
- Listen actively and show interest in their lives
- Use kind words and tone, even when disagreeing
- Respect people's boundaries and opinions
- Show appreciation and gratitude towards those who help us
When we show honour to others, we're not just doing it for them, we're doing it for ourselves too!
As the Bible says, "Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour" (Romans 13:7).
So, let's make a conscious effort to show honour to those around us, not just because it's the "right" thing to do, but because it's a key part of building strong, healthy relationships and living a life of integrity.
