Keith Craft: When you give honor to others you rob yourself of insecurity.
When you give honor to others you rob yourself of insecurity.
The thought behind the quote
True honor involves looking beyond our own interests and genuinely valuing others. When we honor others, we shift the focus away from our own insecurities and fears and instead place value on someone else’s well-being. In doing so, we take the first step toward freedom from the insecurities that tend to hold us back.
Philippians 2:4 challenges us to look beyond ourselves and see the needs of others. Often, insecurity keeps us focused inward, constantly comparing ourselves to others and worrying about our own shortcomings. But when we honor others, we actively choose to celebrate their strengths rather than dwelling on our perceived weaknesses. Honoring others becomes an act of freedom—it breaks the chains of insecurity by turning our gaze outward and allowing us to see the beauty and value in the people around us.
