“As You Would Have Them Do to You”

Dear God,

I want--

--to be treated fairly,
--to be taken seriously,
--to be permitted to make mistakes,
--to be forgiven,
--to be appreciated,
--to be encouraged,
--to be given credit for what I get right,
--to be given some room,
--to be accepted,
--to be affirmed, and
--to be loved.

Help me to remember what I want when I am dealing with someone else.

Amen.

“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12)
