Our readings in this series are from the book, The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government. Here is an excerpt from pages 101 and 102:
“We want to be ready with a word of truth whenever a door of opportunity starts to crack open…, either with respect to our work, or as a response to our lifestyle and demeanor. People will notice excellence in the workplace. Most will appreciate a co-worker who is eager, diligent, efficient, uncomplaining, and willing to do more than is expected. At the same time, people will notice as we treat them with respect and civility. By learning and using people’s names; keeping our conversation and demeanor above reproach; showing ourselves to be helpful, encouraging, and affirming toward others, we can expect to raise the curiosity on the part of some of our colleagues as to what it is that makes us different. Whenever such opportunities arise, we must be ready with a word of truth.”
You can order The King’s Heart in book form or a free PDF from The Ailbe Bookstore.
