What if.....

This Sunday one of the verses our pastor talked about was Matthew 25:40 ....."verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the LEAST of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Wow! That was profound for me. I have heard that verse before but this week I can't stop thinking about it. What would happen if we all followed this verse? What if nations followed this verse? Companies? Cities? Schools? Families? Friends? The list goes on.....

What I do to one of God's children I do to him. As a parent,I understand this. When someone hurts one of my children it hurts me. When they are sick or injured I would gladly take their place. We are ALL Gods children. He hurts when one of us is hurt. What if we all lived our life by this ONE verse? How different would the world be?

-To the poor and homeless?

- To gay, lesbian. and transgender people?

- To the people with different skin color than our own?

- To people with different religions than our own?

- To the person that cuts us off in traffic?

- To the people in the country Georgia?

How would I be as a parent, partner, co-worker, friend if I followed this everyday? I think I will write this on a notecard and stick it on the mirror. Maybe I am silly in thinking the world could be changed by one passage in the bible. Maybe I can just start with me. How will MY world be different if I live by this?

We will see. I think it could be profound.
