Learning to interact with people is one of the most important skills anyone can learn. This is true especially in the context of a church! Whether as a LifeGroup Director, Ministry Volunteer, Deacon, or Children's Church worker, you will deal with people. The following clippings are taken from a book called Be a People Person. I have found them to be very helpful in improving in the area of loving, investing in, and leading people.
What’s the key to relating to others? It’s putting yourself in someone else’s place instead of putting them in their place. Christ gave the perfect rule for establishing quality human relationships. We call it the Golden Rule
The happiest people are those who have invested their time in others. The unhappiest people are those who wonder how the world is going to make them happy.
Most of us think wonderful things about people, but they never know it. Too many of us tend to be tight-fisted with our praise. It’s of no value if all you do is think it; it becomes valuable when you impart it.
The two great marks of a Christian are that they are giving and forgiving. Show me a person who walks with God, and I’ll show you a person who has a giving heart and is forgiving of others.
The happiest day of your life will be the day when you realize “we” really is the most important word in the English language.
