Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you. William Arthur Ward

*Flattery* *is a compliment, a praise or maybe just blarney* *Criticism* *is disapproval or may born out of blarney* *To ignore me is to overlook, snub me or pay no attention* *To encourage me is to reassure me or hearten me in any situation* *Now I must ask you this, my friend* *Which of these are born of love?* *Which of these are fostered by our God who reigns above?* *Flattery* *and encouragement, you see are products of Jesus Christ’s* *love* *However criticism and ignorance are too often inspired by* *hatred* *But it is usually a loving heart which stands behind each kind word said*
