RESPECT: A JOURNALING EXERCISE OR PROMPT
Why is it we demand others to respect us, but we do not offer everyone else the same respect we demand others give us?
Journal your thoughts.
I think this can be said about every single one of us if we were to stop, get out of the emotions, and really think.
Journal your thoughts.
How is it this can be said about you?
Journal your thoughts.
Read the news links below and come back to this journaling prompt or exercise and journal your thoughts.
How did we ever get to this point? I disagree with you, so I will kill you? Terrorism... Riots...
Journal your thoughts.
Every single human has a soul and a heart that beats. Every human makes mistakes and no one is perfect. None of us deserve respect because we are not perfect. However, it is the civilized thing to do and show respect to everyone, regardless of whether we agree or not. For, our agreement does not matter. Our respect for one another's lives, regardless of belief, should be what defines us.
Journal your thoughts.

(Side-Note and My Personal Journaling: This is the article that has me the most disturbed, moved, saddened... WHERE is the outrage? Where is the outrage of the Church as a whole and every single Christian? What about the USA?)

WORD OF THE DAY OR BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
I wrote everything above this BEFORE I went to BibleGateway.com to see their verse of the day. Here it is:
2 Chronicles 7:14 Expanded Bible (EXB)
14 Then if my people, who ·are called by my name [belong to me], will humble themselves, if they will pray and seek ·me [L my face] and stop their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will ·heal[restore] their land.

Prayer journal your thoughts day and night about this verse and the journaling prompt and news links I shared.
