Serving Others

Matthew 7:12 "In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets".

What? Huh? This is the Golden Rule, but I disagree. I think it's wrong! And this isn't what Jesus meant. You don't help others so that they will help you in return. You just help them out of love. Serving others and meeting needs is something I want to do, NOT to receive anything in return, but to just to care and love them. I think this is an area though that I need to work on because sometimes I don't always provide as much love to others like my sister Stephanie does. I think at times I am more task orientated....I am trailing..... Anyways...I guess I want to just serve others for a selfish reason anyways...it just brings so much joy to me! It makes me happy to see others so happy.

Oh...I am tired...it's time for bed. I need to think of more ways I can sacrifice in my giving and also see more of what the Bible has to say about this topic.
