LET'S HONOUR ONE ANOTHER

'Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honour giving

preference to one another.' Romans 12:10 NKJV

Have you ever noticed how quick we are to

accuse someone else of some of the very things

we excuse in ourselves? In so doing, we practise

a double standard, requiring more from others

than of ourselves. Jesus said, Why do you look

at the speck in your brother's eve, but do not

consider the plank in vour own eve?' (Matthew

7:3 NKJV). The double standard works like this:

1) When others are set in their ways, they're

obstinate---but vou are firm and resolved.

2) When your neighbour doesn't like your friend, they're prejudiced --- but when you don't like

their friend, you're a good judge of character.

3) When they try to treat someone especially

well, they're buttering them up --- but when

you do so, you're being thoughtful. 

4) When

they take time to do things well, they're lazy--- but when you do so, you're meticulous.

5) When they spend a lot, they're reckless and

undisciplined --- but when you do the same

thing, you're generous. 

6) When they pick flaws in things, they're critical - but when you do, you're perceptive. 7) When they're mild-mannered. you call them weak - but when you are. you're gracious. 

8) When they dress well, they're extravagant - but when vou do. vou're tastefully in style. 

9) When they say what they think, they're spiteful - but when vou do, vou're

being honest. 

10) When they take risks, they're foolhardy - but when you do, you're brave.

Paul wrote: 'Be kindly affectionate to one

another with brotherly love, in honour giving

preference to one another.' So, the word for

today is: let us honour one another.
