Bible verses about being considerate
As Christians we must not be self-seeking, but we must look out for the interests of others. In this selfish world the motto is it’s all about me. We must humble ourselves before others and love one another. Watch what you say around people.
When you’re about to say something mean or arrogant consider the feelings of others. It is sinful to be mean, proud, and selfish. We are to have a Christlike attitude.
In all you do, take others into consideration. When you want to hold a grudge with someone, forgive just like God forgave us. When someone is going through grief. Comfort them like God comforts us.
When someone needs help. Help them just as God continually helps us. Do all things for God’s glory.
If you’re in your neighborhood, at work, or even going on a trip, consider others who have never heard the gospel message. Let’s pray to be more about we and less about me.
