Christ’s golden rule (1)!
What did Jesus mean when He said, “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do
also to them?” He was saying:
- Value others. Seventy percent of people who leave their jobs, do so because they
don’t feel valued. That’s an indictment of how poorly some leaders treat their
employees. There isn't a person in the world that doesn't want to be appreciated.
Don’t you? - Thank them. Donald Laird said, “Always help people increase their self-esteem.
There’s no higher compliment you can pay someone than helping them to be useful,
and to find satisfaction in their usefulness.” How can you do that? By letting people
know you appreciate their efforts. By making it a point to praise them in the presence
of those closest to them. Billy Rose wisely observed, “It’s hard for a fellow to keep a
chip on his shoulder, if you allow him to take a bow.” - Trust them. Without trust there can be no real relationship. Secretary of State Henry
Stimson remarked, “The chief lesson I've learned in life, is that the only way you can
make a man trustworthy, is by trusting him: and the surest way to make him
untrustworthy, is to distrust him.” Is that easy? No, especially someone you don’t
know very well. Yet that’s Christ’s golden rule. As you strive to invest confidence in
others just as you’d like it to be invested in you, remember these words, “The
person who trusts others will always lose less than the person who distrusts them.”
Thanks for your interest and may God bless you as you live and ride for Him!
