Do To Others

Scripture: Matthew 7: [12] So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Observation: I recite this scripture, but I don’t always live it. I’m nice to others, but I do choose the people I don’t care for and treat them different. God tells me not to judge others, yet I do whether simply by appearance, what others say or the judgment I make. However God means everyone and every situation to treat others the way I want to be treated.

Application: If I treat anyone with less than love the Father commands me to, I need to stop and ask God’s forgiveness and theirs. There is no reason to treat someone poorly but the reason I use is they treated me poorly first and that is no excuse in God’s eyes.

Prayer: My Lord give me strength to love all your children, to treat others with the love you treat me with. Help me love the way You love.
