Jesus' Golden Rule Essential

The way we treat others
Is of course paramount.
But what we are thinking
Does, to God, no less count.

For our thoughts of others,
Feelings of inmost heart,
Will keep us close to God,
Or bad for us, apart.

Oh what disservice we do
When ignoring Jesus' rule for living,
We indulge in thoughts of others
We ourselves don't like receiving.

For God's creation, perfect and complete,
Includes us all, includes us every one.
Mind has infinitely varied ideas,
And we all His daughter or son.

As our Father has made His man,
We can start to think of everyone today.
This is, to the good in store for us
A God-given/Christ-like/proven way.
