Uncomplicated


Philosopher Immanuel Kant said, "Always recognize that [people] are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.

To Jesus people were the means to the end. It is His desire to have heaven filled with people worshipping Him. They will come according to the Scriptures from every corner of the world, in every color, from every tribe and country. What will all of those people do in Heaven...they will worship the one who loved them with His life and cared for them without regard for who or what they were.

Caring is not complicated. It simply means following the example of Jesus. It means spending time with the people you lead. It means knowing their names. It means listening to their ideas, dreams and concerns. It means smiling, sharing a kind word, and asking about their health, families, and interests.


Value other people first as human beings and then for what they can contribute to your organization. Remember, your success depends upon how much they care about following you and they will only follow you when they know you care about them. No one could ever question how much Jesus cared...the cross is a constant reminder!
