“For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”
Romans 12:3 ESV
Or as my Grandmother used to say “Don’t get too big for your britches”!
A very thought provoking look at the connection of humility and respect. Humility is a requirement for growth and learning. One must know they are far from all-knowing and in need of greater understanding. So respect is a foundational and necessary element to receive from others. This knowledge requires respect of those who know more than we do and can provide us with insight we seek. A great article.

Good stuff.
Didn't you love it when your Grandmother channeled the Apostle Paul? Wise woman and a gift to the world. Thanks!

Thanks, Kristine! The community aspect of respect is truly powerful. Respect begets respect.
Thanks, Joey!
Very wise observation as well as an excellent presentation. Especially love the word study of “respect.”
