              An old dentist recounts a story about his very busy dental
office years ago. Apparently, he had one particular patient who was
constantly late to his appointments. One day, this man was scheduled to
come in to get a cavity filled. Before his appointment that morning, the
phone at the office rang. It was the patient calling to let the dentist
know he'd be about 15 minutes late. "Will that be a problem?" he asked.   
                 
                         
                        Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one
another above yourselves.
                        - Romans 12:10 
                       
                 
                 
                 


            "No, that won't be a problem at all," the dentist told him.
"We just won't have time to give you any anesthetic."

            For the first time, that man arrived early for his
appointment!

            It's amazing the change you see in others once they realize
their actions will have a negative impact on them. So often, people are
content to cause others trouble, yet when it causes them problems, they
straighten up very quickly.

            But the Bible says in today's passage to honor others above
and beyond yourself. This means that in everything you do, consider the
effects of your actions on other people. Then think, "If someone did this
to me, how would it make me feel?"

            As Christians, it's our duty to love others-even those who
don't love us. So prefer others in your decisions and show God's love in
everything you do! 
            Prayer Challenge
            Ask God to show you how you can prefer others in the
decisions you make.
