Day 16

Love is Honorable

Jeremiah 30:19 "I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant."

"There are certain words in our language that have powerful meanings. Whenever these words are used, an air of respect is associated with them. These words never lose their timeless quality, class, and dignity. One of these will be our focus for today. It is the word honor.

To honor someone means to give them respect and high esteem, to treat them as being special and of great worth. When you speak to them, you keep your language clean and understandable. You are courteous and polite. When they speak to you, you take them seriously, giving their words weight and significance. When they ask you to do something, you accommodate them if at all possible, simply out of respect for who they are.

The Bible tells us to "honor" our father and mother, as well as those in authority. It is a call to acknowledge the position or value of someone else. Honor is a noble word." Love Dare

Dare

Choose a way to show honor and respect for your parents (or someone else in your life) that is above your normal routine.
