MAY 2 – VALUABLE PEOPLE


A second time Jesus asked, “Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord; you know I love you very much.” Jesus said, “Then care for and look after my sheep.”
                You value your people. They are very important; employees, customers, and vendors. But why? Why do they mean something to you? Is your primary, or only, measure of their value what they can contribute to the financial bottom line?

                Every person has tremendous value. Each one has been created by God. Jesus died for each man and woman, regardless of that person’s attitude, behavior, or character. And, if you love Jesus, He says to you, “then care for and look after” each of them. Regardless. Difficult business decisions often must be made, and they very often are in the best interests of the affected people – even when the short-term consequences are negative. But, even in those situations, where there must be a reprimand or an end to the business relationship, the charge is still to love and care for the person. That responsibility may extend past the time that your “business” relationship lasts. Sometimes it is your uncommon love that will lead to the transformation of their life.

                Everyone has great value. Recognize that in your life, and show it in your work today. Love God’s people.
