Because you know the standard
Is the GOLDEN RULE
Treat other people
The way you would like to be treated
And God knows
He's nobody's fool
It may not be easy
It may make you squirm and heave
But try to take the high road
Do the right thing
To HIS WISDOM
Cleave
HOW?
By His strength.
By His grace,
By the Holy Spirit in you,
Then it can be said,
It can be true,
People get a glimpse of the Father,
in you
This is exactly when
You are making the right choice
To serve the Father
The tri-une amazing God
May His light shine through you and me,
His children may we forever be.

Thank you Father, for the hope and help that I have through Jesus. Help me to be loving, gracious, and kind, even when I would prefer (in the flesh) to be much less. By YOU in me, I strive to be the best I can be. The standard is YOUR WORD. The goal is your love and mercy. What you extend to me, I shall seek to forward the kindness.
Ooh! I needed this one today. I just had a student be less than polite to me when I offered to help. I have to always remember "whose I am, and whom I serve" as Acts 27:3 says. Great poem!
