2. PUTTING PROJECTS BEFORE PEOPLE. Ecclesiastes
7:18 says, "The man who fears God will avoid all extremes."
This is
one of those areas where we need to embrace the tension between relating with
people and accomplishing the mission/getting the job done. Ask specifically: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
You communicate how much you value someone by simply asking the question. Sometimes it’s nice to do something for another person without them asking or surprising them. But if you’re not a good guesser and you don’t have psychic abilities, just ask. Often, when I get home from work, I know there are two things I can say that will encourage my wife:
1) I’d really like to hear about your day,
2) Is there anything I can do for you?
