A Simple Way to Examine Our Lives
Jesus gives us a simple and powerful measure for every thought, word, and action:
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” (Matthew 7:12)
At the end of the day, we can ask ourselves:
• Did I treat others the way I want to be treated?
• Did I speak with kindness and patience?
• Did I forgive as I hope to be forgiven?
• Did I show mercy, respect, and love?
• Did I help when I would have wanted help?
This “Golden Rule” is more than good advice, it is a path to holiness. When we place ourselves in another’s shoes and act with the love we hope to receive, we become more like Christ.
Lord, help me to see others through Your eyes and to treat them as I would want to be treated. Amen.
