How You Treat Someone…

Someone once said… “How you treat someone is what they become”

It’s probably not 100% true but most of the time it’s going to be true. Let’s think about this. What if we treated someone in a loving fashion? Would that make them lovable?

If we were patient with them would that make them also patient?

If we treated them with complete trust would they become trustworthy?

If we treated them like we really appreciated them would they have their self esteem lifted up?

If we sought after the other persons well being more than our own would they recognize that and adopt the same trait?

If we refused to become angry even if we are intentionally baited to become angry… would the one provoking us learn to appreciate that quality?

If someone treated us badly could we put that behind us and treated the other person like it never happened… would they recognize that? Would they see the the moral superiority in that type of behavior and work to be the same kind of person? Would they?

The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 seemed to think so because he said the exact same thing.

Here’s the thing… not only can we help transform some one else by the way that we treat them but we are also transformed from “faith unto faith”

Don’t treat someone so horribly that they become horrible people… treat them with love as you yourself were treated by Jesus Christ himself and were washed and made clean and made acceptable to God.

Pass the love down.
