Verse of the day - Ephesians 4:25 (NRSV)
So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbours, for we are members of one another.
In chapter 8 of my first book, Jesus tells us that we need to treat everyone with respect.
Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul
Be kind to everyone you meet. Love one another as I love you. Treat everyone with respect. I bring everyone into your life for a reason. Some may be for a short time and others are for your entire life. Everyone you meet is your neighbor. If I give you words to speak to them, be not afraid to speak up. I give you words to speak for a reason. Sometimes these are the only kind words spoken to them all day. You never know what kind of impact you will have on another person's life.
When we speak to our neighbors, we need to speak to them in love. Share the truth of Christ with them that they may see the light of Christ. Our neighbors are not only the people who live next door to us, but also everyone we meet throughout the day. Sometimes we will get a nudge from the Holy Spirit to say or do something for a particular person. We may not know what to say, or why we are supposed to do a certain thing but Jesus does. If we follow the nudge from the Holy Spirit, they will be blessed without us even knowing it.
