Devotional Thought:
We know how it feels when we are being treated badly – so that should prevent us from mistreating others. How we react to people is how they will react back. Matthew 7:12 says, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” The Golden Rule is a principle we should all live by. If we respond with kind words, kind words will be returned; but on the contrary, if we respond with harsh words, often harsh words come back to us. We need to always be mindful of how we would feel before responding in a negative way. That’s not always easy when feeling angry or hurt, but so important to cultivate in our relationships and dealings with people. Ask God to help you do this to the best of your ability today, so that you may do as Jesus did; He loved and respected people even when treated badly.
