Luke 18:7
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
These are the laws of nature…
In Physics, you have the Law of Interaction: “To every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction.”
In Buddhism, you have the concept of Karma: “For every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.”
And then, there is the Golden Rule: “Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you.”
And then, there is the Christian way as espoused by the Lord Jesus: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
What a great principle to live by. Knowing that doing something good can be rewarded back with something greater.
God has shown us this by even giving His only Son so that His Life, Death and Resurrection could provide us with our salvation and eternal life with Him. This is the greatest act of love that the Lord is also expecting from us – to live our life for others so they may also feel the love of God in their lives through us.
The more we give, the more we love. Start by hearing His words and living a life devoted to Him. Invite Him to dwell in our hearts so we may live a life of holiness and be a model to others.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, let us love one another, for Your love is a selfless, giving love. The love we should offer shall no longer be self-seeking, but, instead it shall seek the good of those that we love. Amen +
Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.
