How Will I Be Treated Today?

Scripture – Luke 6:37-38: 37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Reflection: How would my life be if people treated me the way I treat them? There’s a good question to carry around today.

Jesus seems pretty clear here. Whether it’s judgment, condemnation, forgiveness or whatever – the measure I use is the measure that will come back to me.

I’ll keep that in mind today. I’ll let it guide the attitudes I bring to people. This is especially helpful right now as I’m expecting to confront someone today regarding unacceptable behavior.

Thank you, Lord, for your tempering words. Reshape my attitude and guide my tongue today.

An Invitation: A small group will be meeting this coming Sunday morning from 9:45 – 10:30am to share what we’ve learned and seen in this week’s readings. We meet in the Pastor’s office at Bethel Baptist Church, 13330 Trenton Road in Southgate. Everyone’s welcome to join us.
