Pat's Prayers: Respect We have, as God's creation, lost respect for each other. We have contempt for each other's purpose of existence. We as people of God have forgotten how to be part of the body. One thing we must understand is that "things" are not part of the body, for instance a government or club or even a church. They are just structures to house or implement order within our lives. Many people feel they are doing God's work especially in these areas, and that somehow they are above reproach. Know you are only great in your own mind. We must be submissive to God and have love and respect for each other. We do for each other in an unconditional way, giving to each other with judgment on what or how much. We don't decide how much respect a person deserves, but give respect totally to each other.
