I believe that we make a living with what we get, and that we make a life with what we give.
The Golden Rule, spoken by Jesus, is possibly the best-known quote from the Bible, and sums up Jesus' ethical teachings in one short sentence. If we wish to be loved, we must give love. If we wish to be respected, we must respect all persons. If we wish to be forgiven, we must also forgive. If we wish others to speak kindly of us, we must speak kindly of them. If we want strong marriages, we must be loyal and faithful to our spouses. If we wish to be fulfilled in our lives, we must share generously with others. If we wish to reap the rewards of our Heavenly Father's love, we must truly love all His people. If we do not wish to be judged harshly, then we must not judge others harshly.
It's important to make a living, but it's just as important to make a life.
