Joyce Meyer Quote

A story is told of a Quaker man who knew how to live independently as the valued person God had created Him to be. One night as he was walking down the street with a friend he stopped at a newsstand to purchase an evening paper. The storekeeper was very sour, rude, and unfriendly. The Quaker man treated him with respect and was quite kind in his dealing with him. He paid for his paper, and he and his friend continued to walk down the street. The friend said to the Quaker, How could you be so cordial to him with the terrible way he was treating you? The Quaker man replied, Oh, he is always that way; why should I let him determine how I am going to act?
