I quote:
Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
end quote
Our Father invites us to be honest in all matters that speak to our self esteem, and respect for all with whom we share our life no matter how great or minor our interactions. It is within our power to demonstrate to Our Father that our respect for Him, and our neighbour is never a matter of words only, but of honoring our commitment to respect that which demonstrates our self worth.
Honour is never lost on those who with silent determination, and considerable sacrifice retain their dignity by ensuring that despite many difficulties they honour that which they offered in good faith.
Self esteem can be easily lost when we lose sight of virtue, standing at our side inviting us to treat with abundant esteem, those who trust us to do all that we have promised them.
Do to others as you would have them do to you. ~ Luke 6:31
