Dear Father help us to serve you, how you would want. To praise you and to help others.
I'm not sure if by 'personal' they mean me or you, so I'll keep it short and leave you to think about your own examples.
The first on the list is speech. It's quite hard to do anything these days without first making sure it's OK, getting permission, letting others know what you've done, etc. Working in a team environment communication is important, as we don't want to duplicate or undo work done by others.
In our Christian lives speech falls into 2 categories; talking to others and talking to God. We looked at prayer last week, so we'll have a quick look at talking to others. We are told to 'give a good confession of our faith'. When others ask what we believe we should be bold when we answer. If we confess Christ to others, he will confess us to his Father. Coming back to personal experience, I've found a confident answer makes life easier in more respects than one. It lets others know where we stand and that what we believe means a lot to us. It shows our confidence and trust in God. This acts as a plus point both to stop ridiculing and to persuade others to follow Jesus.
Respect is something which needs to be earned (and which others need to earn from us). It is gained after a number of plus points have been awarded. Respect can be gained for bravery, honesty, hard work, knowledge, etc. Respect is not something given for nothing, and it can be lost very easily. If it is, then it's something almost impossible to get back. So what do I look for in someone I respect? I suppose honesty is near the top of the list. So are reliability and hard working. It comes down to someone I would trust.
So to examples of the above. There's quite a few biblical examples of the above, but that's easy when we have a black-and-white account of what they are like (especially when it's God giving the judgement through the Holy Spirit).
So what people do you respect and why?
