Matthew 7:12 (NKJV) 12 “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
This verse will help us to learn discipline. It will teach us a very important lesson. Because it doesn’t say only do this to men that are treating us right.
It’s easy to do good things to those who are kind to us. But we all know that there are those who will come along and get us going and strike a nerve, causing our emotions and feelings to want to react.
Learning how to treat others the way we want to be treated, instead of the way they are treating us, causes us to cross over into an area where we put ourself, our emotions and our feelings aside to do what is good and what is right, no matter how we are being treated.
This is what makes people take a second look and say, “there is something different about them”. This is when they see God’s light, His love and His discipline in us.
Know that God will help us with these tough cases, to do what is right, as long as we don’t react out of our emotions and feelings. Instead, we need to stay calm and let Him guide our hearts in treating them how we would want to be treated.
