Disrespect Runs Deep · Softening How We Treat Others
Meaning
"Given over to egoism, power, arrogance, desire, and anger, these envious ones despise Me dwelling in their own body and in others' bodies."
Explanation
Disrespecting someone else, this verse suggests, is quietly also a way of disrespecting the sacred presence within them — a reason to soften how we treat people we're frustrated with.
Today's Life Lesson
When you're frustrated with someone today, remember there's something sacred in them too — let that soften your response.
