Humility or humbleness is a quality of being courteously respectful of others. It is the opposite of aggressiveness, arrogance, boastfulness and vanity. It is a major theme of both Old and New Testaments. It dissipates anger and heals old wounds, and distinguishes the wise leader from the arrogant power-seeker.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10Encouragement - God will comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.Psalm 46:1-3
Appreciation is an expression of gratitude.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. And whatever you do,whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossions 3:15, 17

Respect - Christian respect is uniquely Christian. Teaching respect as a Christian character trait requires that we craft a definition based on God’s Word.
Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 1 Peter 2:18
Trust is the reliance on another person, to have or place confidence in, depend on, and have assurance.
Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods Psalm 40:4
