Growing in spiritual maturity means learning how to keep calm and control our reaction when someone is disrespectful or tries to intentionally set us off. When someone is trying to get under our skin, it's most often about their own inner issues, and not really about us at all. Stay centered and hold your peace. We only have control over our reaction, no one else. It's a sign of great strength, not weakness. Mastering the art of remaining calm in the face of disrespect is a testament to our growth and resilience. It signifies the depths of our healing journey. We choose not to give power to those who seek to upset us, and instead, respond with grace and assertiveness. 😊🙏🤍

Oh so true! I find when I do not react or engage disrespectful people it completely disarms them. I just smile, wish them a blessed day and continue on my way. They really want a reaction, so they are often left speechless. 😇
