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 of Today’s Verse…
The Golden Rule — golden because it’s genuine, lasting, and valuable. Imagine how different our world would be if we practiced this principle — not just in our “church life,” but in our daily life … with our family, with our co-workers and employer, with the people we manage, with the folks on the freeway and in the neighbourhoods where we drive, … toward the waiters and waitresses who serve us. What a wonderfully different world it would be if the Golden Rule were to be practiced. I think I’ll start changing my world with it today! How about you?
Let us Pray:
Generous Father, you have blessed me with so many rich and wonderful gifts. I can never ever adequately express to you the thanks you deserve. One thing I want you to know, dear Father, is that I especially appreciate the way you have treated me with grace and not with justice or judgment. Give me the power to do the same with the people my life touches this week. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Employment
I joyfully serve God and others.
As a spiritual being, I am not defined by my work, but my work is an important aspect of my life’s expression. Every service I provide is a service to God and to others. I live in integrity by fulfilling my commitments. God blesses me with all I need to complete my work and to be prosperous and fulfilled.
I am grateful for my employers and co-workers, for my customers and clients, and for anyone with whom I interact. Each is an expression of God in my life.
By giving and receiving joyfully in the workplace, I become a powerful expression of God in service to the world.
“Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not to men and women, knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord.”–Ephesians 6:7-8
