Practicing the “Golden Rule”

Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31

We all know how nice it feels to be treated with kindness and respect and loved for who we are, but it’s not always easy to treat others this way. From the time we were young children, most of our parents, teachers, or other adults have told us to use the “Golden Rule.” They were right to emphasize it because it’s the way Jesus calls us to live. 
 
Questions for further thought:
1. Who has shown you kindness lately and what did they say or do?
2. Who have you shown kindness to lately and what did you say or do?

Challenge: Think of ways you can show kindness to your immediate family, extended family, pastors, church family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, service workers, and strangers. Put together a list and focus on doing the things you wrote down.
