The Rule That Is Gold


You know the Golden Rule, "Treat others how you want to be treated"(there are many different ways to word it). There is a poster of it in every first grade classroom you walk into. Well, I was reading and discovered the relation between the Golden Rule and the Bible.


"Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them." -Mathew 7:12


Sometimes we are tired, in a bad mood, or even upset and we say and do things to other people that we will regret. That makes following the Golden Rule hard. We need to try every day to treat others with respect, kindness, courtesy, and love. Doing that will make others and yourself happy!


"The Golden Rule starts at home, but it should never stop there." -Marie T. Freeman


"The Lord has abundantly blessed me all of my life. I'm not trying to pay Him back for all of His wonderful gifts; I just realize that He gave them to me to give away." -Lisa Whelchel


"It's no secret,. The ministry of the church is a genuine concern for others. We need to stop talking about it and start doing it. Rise and shine friend. Everyone you meet today is on heaven's most wanted list." -Charles Swindoll
Challenge yourself to put others before yourself.
