Question: when you picture Jesus ministering to others, how do you see Him? Certainly not with the stressed-out, hurry-up attitude we often have. Don’t you get an image of Him ministering in a quiet, tranquil peace? That’s a trait you need to develop too. As ambassadors of Christ we need to become more like our Master in dealing with others. Paul writes, ‘Live in peace, and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author and Promoter of peace will be with you.’ When you resort to force, argument, intimidation, anger, and coercion, you’re on your own. But when you demonstrate affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence towards people, God has promised to be with you . Patience Johnson
About This Quote

If you want to be considered a good person, you need to show love and affection. This doesn't mean that you need to go around hugging everyone you meet, but it does mean that you need to treat others with respect. Think of how great people act. They act with kindness and respect towards everyone they meet. When you act like that, it makes people want to be around you.
