It’s usually pretty easy to know how you want to be treated in a particular situation. That’s what the Bible says: “Do for others as you would like them to do for you” (Luke 6:31).
Guess what that’s often all it takes to figure out what’s fair and what’s not fair. Usually the first step in treating someone fairly is to ask, how would I want to be treated? If you can answer that question, you can answer questions like what would be fair? And what would be unfair a lot easier. Luke 6:27-30.
REFLECT:
When was the last time you felt you were treated unfairly? What would have been fair? Can you recall a time when you were unfair? How would you have acted if you had treated the person the way you like to be treated?
PRAYER:
“God, when I’m tempted to be unfair to somebody, help me to remember to treat others exactly as I would want to be treated.”
