Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Galatians 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
and from
Hippocrates What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.” Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity.” – Hippocrates CS Lewis We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
These quotes show the value of Confidence. Confidence is a great way to live Dignity, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Dignity, and take a closer look at how Confidence brings it to life.
Dignity
Dignity means, Respect for the worth of every person, recognition and commitment to the value of diverse individuals and perspectives, and special concerns for the poor and underserved.
We know there are many ways to live with Stewardship; so let's focus on just one, Confidence.
Confidence
Confidence means, I have been chosen and I am gifted to extend the healing ministry of Jesus.
So, let's ask ourselves this question...
How has my attention to a person's privacy helped them gain confidence in me?
I'd like to invite us all to make Confidence a reality in our lives today by...
Keeping private conversations private.
Confidence isn't new to CHRISTUS Health, in fact, we see this same type of Dignity in our heritage...
At Christus Southwest Louisiana, one of the best things about our pastor is the attention he gives each person. He has a great memory and can remember each person's name. He is trusted by the nursing staff because he has shown that he is able to keep private conversations quiet. We are willing to talk and confide in him on personal or professional issues. He is highly respected.
Jesus, You are ready to help me at every moment. My heart wants to be like yours and respond to needs I see throughout the day. Please help me say yes and be ready to ask how I can help. Amen
