Poise rises above the noise and provides us with personal, steady calmness which then allows us to create more peace in the lives of others.
The dictionary definition of respect is, “to consider someone worthy of high regard or esteem.” The scriptures tell us that God is no respecter of persons, so how do we look at all of his children as worthy, even with those who we may differ from?
