Honesty

Yesterday, we talked about honesty again. The theme saying is Honesty in Action brings Satisfaction. The compass verse is found in Luke 6:31 and most think of it as the golden rule. Actually, if you read the verses before this verse, Jesus is saying something that is completely impossible for us to do, love our enemies. He is pushing us to our limits so that we can see that we rely on God. We can not love our enemies on our own, it is a supernatural thing that only God can give us the ability to do.

Jesus then goes on to say, Treat others the way you want to be treated. He is actually saying, be ready to treat others great. No matter who they are, no matter is they are a bully or a friend; Jesus says, "Be honest, what is your favorite candy? Be ready to give away your favorite candy to all."

You would want someone else to give you your favorite candy. This is not easy, in fact, this is probably also something that we can only accomplish in God.

Think about these things, let me know what you think. Thanks for listening,
