Doing unto others

We don’t close gaps between people with perfection or great stories or even with revenge - we close gaps with Christ. When we live today’s scripture, I can only imagine what great impact it will have on people’s lives all around us. It does not feed the “me” – it rather feeds the “who” and satisfies them. It’s about someone else. Jesus showed through all that He endured that relationship and caring are key.

We need to show people in the normal day-to-day walk a better way of doing and experiencing life. This can be accomplished by putting others needs above our own. It’s not easy, I know, but it is worth it – “do to others as you would have them do to you.”

The idea is not revenge or even payback, it’s doing it the Jesus way. Let’s close the gaps of indifference not just with words but through our actions. Let us close the gaps as Jesus did - through relationship and caring.

Prayer response:

1. Pray that your eyes will be opened to the needs of those around you, no matter the cost to yourself.
2. Pray that you will not only try to do good to those who you feel deserve it, but rather that God will help you to do good all around you.
3. Make a point of doing for someone else what you would have loved to be done for you today.

*Pray for the salvation of those on your prayer list.
