Selfish in a Good Way - the Golden Rule

Week 9: Helping Others

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Matthew 7: 12 (The Golden Rule)

Actually, Jesus shares this rule or principle with his disciples in reverse of the way we say it. Jesus said in every situation ask yourself what would you want.

Then go do that for others, not in the particulars of your tastes and preferences but as close as you can determine, in theirs. Do you want to eat spaghetti at our house? For whom are you cooking? That will determine whether you get Mama’s spaghetti or Daddy’s spaghetti.

Blessings are better with a background check. So if you want to do good; first ask yourself, “Who am I really doing this for?” Well, take some time and answer your own question.
