Be Kind to One Another

Meditate. Do you like to be treated kindly?

Do to others as you would like them to do to you. Luke 6:31

For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. Matthew 7:2

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12

That’s the Golden Rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Kindness begets kindness—likewise anger or hatred begets anger or hatred. How do you want to be treated?

Christians are viewed by others in especially the way they treat each other. If you can’t treat your Christian brothers and sisters graciously, then will others want to become followers of Christ? Not likely. Good motivation for being kind to one another.

Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:29-32 (Underlined for emphasis.)

Live and treat others like you want to be treated.

Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. 1 Peter 3:9

Seek love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in your life. That is the fruit of the Spirit. Live and treat others with that fruit. God will bless you. 

Prayer ~ Dear Lord—please bless Naomi and help her to treat others the way You want her to be treated with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Verse of Salvation ~ For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, 'The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.' There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Acts 4:11-12

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, NAOMI

Sweet Blessings
