And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant

- Instead of talking and telling try listening!
- Hear what others have to say and how they feel
- Pay attention to them
- Take in what they are saying
- Do not be preparing what you will say next or how you will answer
- Do not interrupt
- Practice empathy
- Put yourself in the other person's shoes
- Join in the suffering, feel what they feel with them
- Understand from their point of view
- Be a healer
- Find their hurt and help them find victory
- Honor others before yourself
- Be respectful
- Give them freedom to be their selves
- Be grateful
- Strengthen the weak
- Be motivated by love
- Nothing matters as much as loving and expressing love
- No gift, no sacrifice, no belief, no position is anything without love
- Understand their needs and seek to meet those needs
- Do more than feel love, you must express the love
- Love like you have been loved. The loved, love. (the love of Christ constraineth us)
- The forgiven, forgive
- Seek His kingdom not your own
- Become a bridge to the success of others, lay down your life for His cause and purpose in their lives
- Don't be critical or judge others
- Practice humility which is not thinking of ourselves at all but making God everything
- Stop thinking of yourself as the priority
- Treat others the way you want to be treated
