Better relationships are needed. Instead of generating bullying, domineering kind of power and control-hungry persons, we ought to pro-actively work on bettering relationships with our children, neighbors, other church members and the like.
Being humble is a big step forward towards this end. If one is in a position of power, be it ever so slight, being firm is a necessary ingredient for sure, but building trust and respect cannot be coerced. Coercion produces fear driven subservience, not willing obedience.
Admitting our mistakes, being kind, helping others and being more observant of individuals under our care would go a long way, I believe, towards humble beginnings but also sustaining better relationship with others.
We can slowly but surely do this with Jesus' help and in His name.
Bye for now ...
