Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Life is full of reoccurrences. Nothing done on earth goes unrecorded. Thus, we must live intentionally and choose our actions wisely.
In the words of the Master today, we should only do to others the things we would love others to do to us.
This is expedient because life has a way of bringing people to pay us back what we gave to others.
Brethren, let us do good to people if we expect people to do good to us and let us do evil to people if we expect people to do evil to us.
There's no cutting of corners on this. Even when we are forgiven, we still find ourselves paying for what we did.
In order to receive favor, let us favor others. In order to be loved, let us love. The list is endless. Do what you expect and when the repayment comes you shall receive with joy.
Let's pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your timely instructions to us today. Please help us live right, in Jesus name. Amen.
