The divine worth in any despised person must be recognized, and we must protect and cherish it. Whenever we get together with people, we need to consider their value for the kingdom of God. If anyone sins against us or insults, punches, or swears at us, we should not think about the cursing, but be mindful. We could say: “He is foolish insulting me like that.” We can even tell him directly: “Hey, it’s stupid to curse like that!” But we should not despise him for insulting us because in God’s name we see him as precious for the kingdom of heaven.

We must learn to see the divine worth in everyone.
