TREATMENT OF OTHERS


1 Thessalonians 5:14-15

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Personal Challenge

Practicing the second great commandment of loving our neighbor as we love ourselves can be difficult at times. People are not always easy to love, but then, neither are we. Here are some basic guidelines that can help us to develop the ability to love others. Gently warn those who are unruly, comfort those who are faint of heart, when we see a neighbor who is weak, uphold them, and be patient with all others. If someone treats us in an evil way, do not be evil back but look for the good in them. Loving our neighbor is a process that must begin somewhere and that somewhere is in our own heart. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
