Do you respect your elders? Do you value their wisdom and experiences? How can you show your respect to them?
Most of the time, we are stubborn and do not listen to advices especially from those older than us. Being young we are impulsive and we want to accomplish right away our plans without even thinking about it. Why are we not listening from those with experience? Is it because of pride and we assume that we know everything.
We are stubborn sometimes because we are just selfish and only think about ourselves. In 1 Timothy 5:1-2, Paul reminded " Do not rebuke an older men harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity." Paul emphasized respect to those who are older and younger than us, whether they are men or women, we treat them all with utmost respect.
How can you show respect without hesitation? Everyday is an opportunity to show our love and respect to others and having a Christ-like attitude. Its free to be kind in this harsh world. Choose kindness and love everyday.πππ
