A Daily Devotional About pushing others… Mark 12:30 Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and
with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: `Love your neighbor as
yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (NIV) There are ways to get others
to do what you want. You can manipulate others, coerce others, push others, pull
others, cajole them, and entice them. To categorize how we deal with others, we
can either push them or pull them. Pushing and pulling may seem to be opposites,
but with people, pulling someone can be the same thing as pushing them. When you
pull someone you are standing in front of the person. When you push someone you
are standing in back the person. We may often try to push others so we can get
what we want. We may push others to get our way because we are weak. The
opposite of pushing or pulling people is giving to them. Instead of pushing or
pulling others out of our weakness, we should be giving to others out of our
strength. When we give to others we build a relationship based upon love rather
than upon the use of our personal power. |
