"Do for others what you would like them to do for you." Matthew 7:12

Or do for others because of what Christ has done for you. Yes, it's hard. Especially when it's not reciprocated. But think about it from Jesus' standpoint. He did it even when it wasn't returned.

What does Jesus do for us?

He loves us because He wants that love in return.

He is kind to us because He wants us to be kind.

He is forgiving and wants us to be forgiving.

He is gentle and wants us to be gentle.

He is faithful and wants that faithfulness in return.

He is merciful and compassionate and wants us to be merciful and compassionate in return.

Christ saved us by dying on the Cross. He went above and beyond for us. He showed us real love. What if we started showing and doing for others what Christ did for us?

Are we able to do it? Can we do it?

Well...that is up to each of us. It's our choice!
