Scripture: Matthew 7:12 Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets. (NCV)
Nugget: One of my favorite sayings is, “Treat people like you want to be treated.” It’s amazing that people don’t take this into consideration when they treat others badly/etc.; however, it’s not entirely surprising either. We tend to be selfish at times.
Take a step back today when you catch yourself acting “out-of-character” or out-of-line. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes who is receiving the treatment that you could be dishing out. How would you feel? If it’s definitely not treatment that you’d want to receive yourself, then it’s time to do a self-check & reel yourself back in!
Quote: “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
