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.
Boy does the world need Matthew 7:12 tattooed on the back of their eyelids and posted on every billboard across every road all over the world!!! Seriously, kids on a playground work together much better than adults all over the world.
We seem to be programmed to react before we think. We want to lash out as soon as someone says something that “offends” us. We never want to take the time to consider how another person thinks or feels. We just want to make sure we are heard loud and clear.
You know at the end of the day, you cannot control others. You can, however, control you. You can take a moment, stop, and think how you would want someone to treat you. Then you can react with kindness, love, patience, and grace. After all none of us are perfect either. We have bad days and certainly make bad decisions also. Don’t you want someone to show you a little kindness when you aren’t at your best? Then extend that to others around you.
Lord, I want to pray that people, including myself, stop and think before they react to others. ~amen
