How can we take our most beloved youth by the hand and impress upon them the most important lessons of life? Simple lesson like loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. How to serve - without any regard for recognition or gratitude? How to lift up others who might need a little boost?
The Bible is so full of valuable little lessons for our lives. Today's verse comes from the 78th Psalm -
"Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done."
Psalm 78: 1-4
How few there are who would thus dare to address God each night: "Lord, deal with me to-morrow as I have this day dealt with others; ... those to whom I was harsh, and from malice, or to show my own superiority, exposed their failings; others, to whom, from pride or dislike, I refused to speak,—one I have avoided, another I cannot like because she displeases me; I will not forgive,—to whom I will not show any kindness."...
And yet let us never forget that, sooner or later, God will do unto us even as we have done unto them
