Valuing people is necessary to a fulfilled life. It is a must for servant leadership. It is essential to keep our own personhood in perspective when we value others. Sometimes we realize late how valuable some people have been in our lives. Jesus valued the disciples by washing their feet, simply serving them. Valuing people is not merely respect for all, but realizing that each person is a gift. They have value because they are made in the divine likeness. They have gifts and graces from our common Father. He loves them as much as He loves us. They are very valuable to Him and thus should be to us as well.
Father, may I truly appreciate the love that You have for all people. Expand my growth by expanding my love for all that You love.
