The Golden Rule

I continue to be inspired by Gods word. It is true that every answer to this life can be found in Gods word. In reading today, I came across this scripture: "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets (Matt 7:12)."  I think so many times we are in search for the deeper things of God that on occasion we forget about what some may call the "foundational principles." I believe it is a good thing to be searching Gods word for the meat of His word, but it is also important on occasion to be reminded of the simpler things. Treating others the way we want to be treated truly is a simple principle that, when practiced, releases the love of God to all those around us. Walking this out can be difficult especially when most people in our society do just the opposite; they treat people the way they are treated. This is how our lights can shine. As we are obedient to Gods way of doing things our lives than begin to illuminate His presence and in return it unlocks His favor in our lives. And being obedient to the way He calls us to walk will only benefit us in all aspects of our lives. It will cause our relationships to flourish, it will open doors at work that otherwise wouldn't be opened and it will cause our lives bear much fruit. As we approach this week lets remember to treat others the way we want to be treated.
Be Blessed!
