Living By The Golden Rule
In the Kingdom of God where right actions for right reasons are the goal, where we consider others as better than ourselves, we expand our sight beyond what we wish others would do for us. We go first in doing good.
What would living by the Golden Rule look like at work?
Do you wish someone else would clean up in the breakroom, bring muffins on Mondays, offer to pick up the slack, volunteer for the unpopular shift, say a kind word about your work, or recognize your over-the-top effort? Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them!
What would Golden Rule living look like in your home?
Do you wish your family would be more appreciative, take the initiative in work or play, demonstrate a more positive attitude, or be more transparent about feelings?Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.
What would it look like with your friends?
Do you wish they would call to check on you, bring you coffee, initiate meet ups, answer texts more promptly, or offer practical help to you when you're overwhelmed? Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.
