Ch 16 - Adding Value to Others Recap

Adding Values to Others


We all need encouragement on our journey through life.  Adding value to others takes the focus off ourselves and causes us to focus on bringing others up.  People should never be used to get what we want.  We easily have in our power the ability to increase the sum total of the world's happiness right now, starting in our own homes and families.  The more we encourage other, the better we feel and the more joy we will have.  Let's start by noticing the good others do and making a big deal out of it. Instead of broadcasting their mistakes, let's cover those fault in mercy.  It will make us all feel better.

God Cares How We Treat People


How we treat people is important to God.  The measure of our love can be seen in how we treat people.  Some small act we consider insignificant may actually change a life.  The world needs encouragers, people that will help others without thinking what is in it for us.  People that will love others and treat them as we wish to be treated.  we need to make people feel as if they matter and are valuable.  Let's ask God to show us who needs encouragement and how we can help.  We can change the world, one person at a time.

Cheering Others On

Our goal should be to imitate Jesus, to treat others as He would treat them.  Life is not a competition.  Everything in life doesn't have to be a competition.  We can encourage others and truly be happy for their successes.  That is real success.

thoughts:


We have been called to add value to the lives of others.  We need to make it our business to sow good things into the lives of others.  In doing so we will add value and joy to our own lives.
