(Matthew 7:12 NKJV) “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Going by this scripture are we to only do good to those that do good to us, those that treat us right or show us attention, those that know us and are in our group? No. We need to treat people the way we would like them to treat us, whether we know them personally or not.
For instance, I used to clean for this company. The owner trained me and taught me when you go in to the homes/business you are to move fast and just wipe things down. Spray with Windex but don’t take to much time. She would give me an allotted amount of time.
When I went in to clean for the customers, I couldn’t do it that way, it felt wrong to me. They were paying really good money. So, I would work faster and harder to do a more thorough job and give the customer what they were paying for, and my boss couldn’t tell because I would be done in the time she allotted me.
The day came when the customers started to request for me to come and clean for them instead of her or others that she would send. It was not my intention for this to happen, but it did.
Time went by and she had to stop working and let go of the business. Guess who ended up with the whole business? ME! What a blessing for me! I wasn’t just getting a paycheck but I was getting a business. For what? For doing unto others as I would want done to myself. Amen!!
Don’t think that your efforts are going unseen…God is faithful!!
