People may or may not remember what you did.
People will always remember how you made them feel.
Someone might say, I am the boss. I don't care how they feel. I am the Father, I don't care how they feel. I am the authority, I don't care how they feel. Stop. STOP! In any setting, this is wrong and destructive thinking.
You can discipline a child without crushing their spirit. You can direct, even terminate an employee without beating them down. There is always a way to help someone feel loved.
A kind look, looking them in the eye.
A genuine smile.
Patient listening.
Seeking them out.
Words of encouragement.
A small gift.
Giving them attention.
A hug at the right time.
Are you a Pastor? Mother? Father? Employer?
They will remember how you made them feel.
If you are not good at helping people feel loved, then it is time to learn. It is a huge core part of the Jesus stuff.
How do you make them feel?
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
