The Gold Standard

277)  I have heard The Golden Rule so much, it’s easy to overlook. Yet, this command of treating others as I want them to treat me is straightforward. God tells it simply; Love Him with all your heart & love others as yourself. The Gold Standard. Matthew 7:12

Hard Steps to Follow

Thoughts Precede Feelings & Actions

275) We sometimes think we have no control over how we feel and think, but this is not so. Just like you have to train to be a good runner; you have to train in controlling your thoughts. Your feelings and actions always follow what you think. What have you been thinking? Philippians 4:8

Your Responsibility

270)  God wants us to make the effort to keep our end of relationships open and free of conflict but this does NOT include the things others have said or done to you. You aren’t responsible for others’ actions; only yours. That’s enough to do right there. Rom 12:18
