My Beloved Sister,
Let's move on to something else that is reciprocal, that is something else which if you give, you will receive. Today's message is "Respect is Reciprocal".
I am sure one of your desires is that your king will treat you with respect. You want him to place you on a pedestal. Let's leave money, family, education and job aside as reasons why he should or should not respect you. Let's focus on respecting him to gain respect.
You do not need to kneel down or lick his feet to prove you respect him. It shows in little things like how you greet him, how you talk to him when no one is around, how you talk to him in public, the way you listen to him and your response to his ideas. This list is not exhaustive.
There is one lady that really impressed me one day. It was in a party. While we young wives were serving our husbands food in tray (and husbands were carrying food on their laps), Madam set table for her husband. You need to hear her speak to her husband and see the way she reverenced him. The respect she had for him could not be denied. To be continued someday...
Respect also comes in the way you carry yourself. Not too low as to get involved in community gossips and village fights, and not too high that you cannot relate with anyone or just a few in a class you have created for yourselves. If you place yourself low, people will tend to look down on you. If you carry yourself too high, people will 'fear' you.
You can gain respect in the way you dress. It will be hard for a tout to approach a well-dressed lady and try to make insulting passes at her. Unless he is mad, he knows his limits.
My Beloved Sister, it is my deep prayer that your king treats you with respect. When he comes, do give him the respect due him. Then you will see the way will place you on that pedestal.
PS: Having an attitude of respect to people also helps. You may not be too sure who King is among the people you come across.

ah u have spoken!
i need to digest this info!
btw i must say i have been blessed my ALL your blogs :)
by not my- sleep don dey worry me o..lol
good night dia
i feel this write up. Respect means a lot in a relationship and our every day life. when u give him that respect, u indirectly tell him that u acknowledge his presence in your life, you appreciate him for who he is, you accept him as a 'partner'. partnership never works without respect for parties involved. and the rule of respect follows the law of giving. when u give, u get in return. God has said it in the bible, put me to a test by giving.
respect is part of giving, so when u give respect, how can you not earn it back?
ps: whenever i read ur writeup and come across your king, it puts a smirk on my face. don't know why.
@ Aloted: Hope you rested well...
Thank God you take something out of the blogs...
@Uzezi: Hmmm, I did not see it from the giving and partnership point of view, this is new and insightful...When are you writing your own book?
i think if you look deep down, you might know what causes the smirk :-)
hey didnt know you had so many blogs....but thanks for this. I am soon to be married
@ Kin'Shar: You're welcome and all the best as you get married. I hope you find things from this blog useful.
Is that you in ur profile pix?
Your blogs are Amazing, I always take away something good from them, so I decided to leave something good for you today :-)
Words go a long way to other people, keep writing, you are saving loves and lives, and what better accomplishment in life can one achieve.
Once again, i feel the need to yell, "SO TRUE!" i keep on preaching this to everyone. it's not only that i believe this to be true, i live by this. It's a principle in my life. Respect is reciprocal, and should be given to every person. Big or little, poor or rich, every person deserves respect. And the most important thing is to first respect yourself, because if you don't do that, then no one will respect you. I speak from experience with that one. I know some old ass men for whom i have no respect, God forgive me, but it's true. The way they act, and the things they do make me have no respect for them.
beautiful, and very true words Rita!
