STOP AND THINK If you treat an individual … as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be. (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, 18th-19th century German writer, artist, and politician)
The way we respond to people, the way we act and react toward them, contributes to their view of themselves and their achievements. So, we should be very careful in our relationships, trying not to be negative and critical but positive and helpful.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. … Let us encourage one another. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
