How To Treat Others Like Jesus?

3/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Mt 7:12 - "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you,…   NASU
 
One can only imagine how different the world would be if we could all completely obey this one passage of scripture. 
  • Are You A Cheerleader of A Critic? 
Zig Ziglar tells the story about golfing with his son. They were tied on the 18th hole. If Zig made his putt for a birdie he would win. If he missed on purpose and made par they would remain tied.
 
Zig thought to himself as he lined up the putt, "If I miss on purpose and he asks me, 'Did you miss on purpose?' I won't be able to lie to him."
 
Zig stood over the ball, looked at the hole and as he drew the club back and made the putt for a birdie, he looked at his son and asked him, "Were you cheering for me?"
 
His son immediately said, "I always cheer for you dad." 
  • Life Lesson 
I have learned in life that you will either "cheer for" or "criticize" the ones you love.
 
If you place "criticizing" on one side of the scales and "cheering for" on the other side, which one would weigh the most?
 
If we make an analogy using "criticizing" and "cheering for" as fertilizer, which one do we spread the most around the ones we love, our teammates and or co-workers? 
  • Which Do You Prefer? 
Ask yourself this question, "What brings the best out of you, being criticized or being cheered for?"
 
If you say being "cheered for" then you should be cheering for others. Jesus said, "Treat people the same way you want them to treat you…"
 
Jesus is giving us one of those great pieces of advice on how to live the good life.
 
Think On These:
 
A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic.
 
Blowing out another person's candle won't make yours shine any brighter.
 
Criticizing another person's garden won't keep weeds out of your own.

Stay Pumped,
