Let's out do each other with kindness.
Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do good.
Jeremiah 7:5 But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice.
Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.
What a hugh saving that our country would have if we could all live a lifestyle full of kindness. We could shut down most of the courts and we could get rid of a bunch of the law makers in Washington, how about the size of the police force?
What a big pile of money that we would have to use on more important things if we treated everybody that we come into contact with just as good as if we were treating ourselves.
Christ came to teach us, not only what we are to know and believe, but what we are to do; not only toward God, but toward men; not only toward those of our party and persuasion, but toward men in general, all with whom we have to do.If we could learn this simple rule then we could get rid of envy, slander, theft, adultery, and murder and we would become a lot more like our Savior.
-Barnes Commentary
Help us Lord to put aside our jealousy and envy and concentrate on treating the other people around us as well as you have treated us. After all you took better care of us than we ever deserved.
