Treat others as YOU wish to be treated......

Treat others as YOU wish to be treated......


For the past few days I have felt Love, Hate, Sad, Happy, Kindness, Back stabbing.....
So it made me think of how people actually treat each other.
i mean would a friend who really claims to be your friend treat you in any way he/she wouldn't want to be treated?


Wikipedia explains the "golden rule"as follow:
This concept describes a "reciprocal" or "two-way" relationship between one's self and others that involves both sides equally and in a mutual fashion


"Two-way"?  Doesn't it sound familiar? when God created man, He created someone whom He can have a relationship with because He was lonely. Man failed God because of sin and therefore the perfect relationship between God and man was ruined, but lucky all was not lost and Jesus came to reconcile, when Jesus was on earth He had perfect relationships with the people around Him because He lived with them and walked with them. He got to know them, He treated them with respect and Love. Should we not follow this amazing example? Should we not walk with people and get to know them, should we not treat them with Respect and Love?
YES, yes we should, and when we start doing this we will see a big change not only in others around us, but in our own being because then we start to show the love of Jesus in our lives.
Relationships are delicate and because we are human and not perfect we hurt easily and therefore i think if the thing i am about to say would hurt me, then it will most likely hurt the other person. 


When you put yourself in the others person shoes, live might not be as nice as you think it will be, we all have problems and issues, rather share those problems with your friends and then your not carrying the heavy burden alone, but you have people who can carry you and help you.


Cherish your relationships, not only with your friends but with your parents, co-workers and everyone you come in contact with....


Food for thought: The worth of any friendship can be measured by its contribution to Gods Assignment to your life.

  1. Straight truths!

    Any person can go out wearing a mask and pretending to be some one their not, but at some time the truth will reveal who you are. Don't give out what you wouldn't want to receive. . .

    God het ons nie gemaak om deur die lewe alleen te gaan nie, hy stuur vir ons familie en vriende en hoe ons daardie mense hanteer is 'n keuse wat net ons elkeen kan maak . . .

    1. Ek stem saam, dit is op die einde elkeen van ons se keuse.
      Daai spreekwoord wat sĂȘ "to earn respect you have to give it first" is hier van toepassing...
