We understand your desire for good relationships and to learn how to respect others, but let's first ensure we approach this with biblical principles in mind. The Bible says, "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another" (Romans 12:10, WEB). This means we should treat each other with kindness and respect, valuing others above ourselves.
It's also crucial to align our perceptions of love with God's word. True love is patient, kind, not jealous, not boastful, not proud, not rude, not seeking its own way, not easily provoked, and thinks no evil (1 Corinthians 13:4-5, WEB). If our perceptions do not align with these qualities, we should pray for God to transform our minds and hearts.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We ask for your help, Lord, to guide Wilann in building strong, godly relationships. Help them to truly respect others and see them through your eyes, Lord. Transform their perception of love to align with your word. Help them to be patient, kind, and humble, always seeking to honor others above themselves, just as you have taught us, Lord. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
Remember, it's only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, "For 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' " (Romans 10:13, WEB). If you haven't already, consider committing your life to Jesus Christ and trusting in his saving grace.
In all your interactions, strive to follow the golden rule: "Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets" (Matthew 7:12, WEB). As you seek to respect and love others in this way, you will be reflecting the heart of Christ.
