Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets"
How you treat others speaks volumes for your character and ultimately reveals the condition of your heart. Have you ever felt disrespected, mistreated, used, neglected, and etc? I know I have...and guess what...Jesus experienced all of that too yet He still died for us. It is always tempting to "do unto others as they have done to you" but that is not what the Word tells us to do. Furthermore, that kind of behavior does very little for your character and is not pleasing to God.
God has called us to serve His people not to be served; therefore, how we treat others weigh heavily on how people view the church. As believers we represent our Father and we should act accordingly...He is always watching.
One of my favorite sayings is "be the person you want to meet" which is essentially the same thing as treating people how you want to be treated. Be cautious in your actions and with your words you never know how they will affect someone.
Strive to make someone's day rather than breaking someone's day.
