Thoughts on Today's Verse...

This verse is called "The Golden Rule"! It's golden because it's genuine, lasting, and valuable. It's golden because it clearly and beautifully summarizes what God's Law teaches about how we should treat others. Imagine how different our world would be if we practiced this principle — not just in our "church life" but in our daily life? If we practiced this Gold Rule with our family, our coworkers and employer, and with the people we manage, the folks on the freeway, in the neighborhoods where we drive, and toward the waiters and waitresses and others who serve us. What a wonderfully different world we would have! So, let's each start changing our world and making it a bit more golden today!

My Prayer...

Generous Father, you have blessed me with so many rich and wonderful gifts. I can never adequately express to you the thanks you deserve. One thing I want you to know, dear Father, is that I especially appreciate the way you have treated me with grace and not with justice or judgment. Empower me through your Holy Spirit to treat others as I would have them treat me. In Jesus' name, I pray to live this golden way. Amen.
