His Golden Rule

 

There’ve been a lot of angry words
And deeds that match their tone.
I think we need a golden rule
Reminder of our own.
 
Be careful of the words you speak,
Let them be born of grace,
Knowing you also need kindness
Offered in anger’s place.  
 
Too often we forget to give
That which we truly need,
A kinder word than we deserve,
Great forbearance, indeed.
 
The rule was simple, treat others
As they ought to treat you.
Too often we strike out in rage
Before we’ve thought it through.
 
A golden rule He set in place
For those who follow Him.
We cannot truly love the Lord
With hearts bitter and grim.
 
Matthew 7:12
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
