Do unto others

 The Golden Rule.  "Do unto others that you would have done unto you."  It seems simple and straightforward right??  This statement is in multiple books in The Bible, Luke and Matthew.  Now if God saw it fit to put this statement in multiple books of His Bible maybe it's important.  Perhaps, we should pay attention.  I have on many occasions not treated people in a way that I would like to be treated.  I would try to justify this action with statements like "Well they had that one coming, or They asked for that."  I couldn't be more wrong.  I am not a perfect man, I make a lot of mistakes, sin daily, and fail at trying to follow in the steps of Jesus Christ our Savior.  Only because of the sacrifice of a perfect, sinless man am I redeemed.  God's Grace, Love and Mercy are given freely without question.  I understand that people can really suck at times.  Situations can cause tempers to raise and then confrontation occurs.  Been there, Done that.  Like I said before, I'm a Sinner just like you all.  No offense but that is the absolute truth.  The amazing part of all this is that even though we are all sinners and deserve nothing in this life, and Hell in death,  God doesn't see us that way.  Jesus paid for the cost of all our Sins with His Blood.  It's not easy sometimes to treat people how you would want to be treated, but being a follower of Christ it is necessary.  When you start to be a little more like Jesus and a little less like yourself it becomes simpler.  There will always be those who are just a little cray cray.  Maybe they have never come across someone like you.  One interaction with a believer in Christ could change that person's life.  I know this for a fact because I was once one of those crazy, hateful, people who just wanted to watch the world burn.  God has changed my life, blessed me in ways that I never thought I deserved, and Loves me regardless.  I try to Do Unto Others, but it doesn't always work out that way.  The struggle is real.  This is when you run to The Father and ask for help, Repent of your Sins, and move forward a better person in Christ Jesus,  With His Guidance and Wisdom hopefully having an opportunity to change the day, and possibly the life of another person.  One kind word or gesture could be all it takes to let God Work Through You.
