I like to be treated with respect. I’m sure you feel the same way. When we are treated with respect it resonates within us and bolsters our sense of self and builds self-confidence. When we aren’t treated with respect the opposite occurs. Our self-confidence is shaken and a subtle voice whispers to us that we aren’t worthy of being respected. The reality is that every individual, by virtue of being created in the image of God, is worthy of being treated with respect.
