How do we want to be know by others? How do we want to be remembered when we are gone? Life is a journey full of moments. Whom is our driver in life’s journey?
Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
If we will be know by how we treat our animals how much more will we be know by how we treat others? My aunt, when she was in so much pain and dying still said she did not want to offend anyone. That she wanted to do good. How do we want to be remembered? Do we want to be remembered as loving, gentle, kind, for doing what is right and good to all?
Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 12:16-20 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Philippians 2:3-6 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out for not only for his own interest, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.
Do we have ears to hear what the Word says? It is written.
