Treatment

I have probably shared before that my wife will say that I play too hard. I am a touch sarcastic and can come across as being a complete and total bear, which is absolutely not true. However, given the opportunity to make someone laugh at another's expense, I usually take it. But, when it comes to someone's true feelings, I always try to treat them the way I want to be treated.

I have always believed that we are to treat others the way we want them to treat us. Yes, it is in the Bible so we should. But, I want others to know that they are loved, just as I a want to know that others love me, which is what this verse tells us.

Today's word is Matthew 7:12, NASB, which reads, "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way want them to treat you..."

Notice that the verse tells us, "In everything..." In our conversation, in our actions, when we are alone, when we are with our friends, when we are trying to impress, when we are praying. In everything we should be aware of how our actions and our words affect others. Why? Because we know how others' actions and words affect us.

I want to be cognizant of what my actions and my words say about my relationship with JESUS. I want to be a blessing to others and represent my SAVIOR well. I want others to know that they are loved by THE ONE AND ONLY GOD. I want them to be able to see Him through me. I want to treat others the way I want to be treated.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
