Matthew 7:11-12
How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
The Golden Rule. Everyone at least gives lip service to this idea. But how often do we actually live it out in our relationships? We are to treat others with the respect and compassion we would desire from them, because God has given us value and worth. This "sums up the Law and the Prophets;" this means that when we have this attitude of loving our neighbor as ourselves, we won't need to worry about if we're doing everything we need to obey His commands, we will automatically follow the spirit of the Law in our treatment of others. And He has promised and made it so that what we focus on will become a reality. Ask. Seek. Knock.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
