Imagine that everyone that you meet is wearing a sign that says, “Make Me Feel Important”
In a recent post, we discussed how we are often more important than we realize. So today, I thought I’d flip the script a bit and repost an older article about how we need to make others feel important by imagining that everyone wears a sign that says, “Make me feel important.”
My church is a pretty large church in Tulsa, OK. There are several things that our church does to make a big church feel a little smaller with small groups, serving opportunities, outreaches, etc. One of the things we used to do was called a “section community” which is defined as people who connect weekly by sitting in the same section of the auditorium when they come to church. Each section has section leaders who facilitate connection among the section members.
My section had some pretty great leaders—Scott and Dawn. One way they connected with us on a regular basis outside of service was through some encouraging e-mails and Facebook posts. One time they sent an e-mail that I TOTALLY loved, and I got their permission to share it on my blog. It’s about how we, as Christians, should be treating others. In particular, they shared how we should imagine that everyone that we encounter on a day-to-day basis is wearing a sign that says, “Make me feel important”.
