Don't Be A Thief!

2/17/2016

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." -John 10:10 (NASB)
One of the lessons we try to teach at my middle school is that of respect and kindness toward others.  There are times when students, and even teachers, forget to act respectfully toward peers and colleagues.  While these times of being disrespectful or unkind may not be physically stealing, they are times of stealing the joy, happiness, and respect of others!

There are times when we may react in ways that are not appropriate or that we later regret.  In these times we are "thieves" of others' joy and happiness.  Before reacting in a situation, we should stop and think about the example that Jesus set for us.  Instead of acting harshly or rudely, we should react in a way that shows God's love.  We don't have to agree with everyone, but we can react in loving ways that allow Jesus to open the door to God's Kingdom!

Don't be a thief of others' joy.  Instead, show God's love that introduces others to Jesus!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for sending Jesus to open the door to Your Kingdom.  Help me to show Your love instead of stealing joy from others.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
