Do Unto Others — Part 2
Jesus makes it very clear — whatever you want others to be doing for you, you should do for them. This is not something passive — it is something active.

There is no room for selfishness in the Christian life. As we examine what we commonly refer to as “The Golden Rule,” may our hearts be stirred to see our selfish focus and shallow pursuits for what they are, and turn to Jesus.
If these incredible promises are true, then they would beg the questions: Why are we not consistently asking? Why are we not faithfully seeking? Why are we not eagerly knocking?
We all have a lot of questions about this command: What about “ask what you will and it will be done to you”? What if I asked and nothing has happened?
Do you have a 911 relationship with God? Are you only seeking God when you’re in a “tight spot”? Or is your asking, seeking, and knocking motivated by a desire to consistently pursue fellowship and intimacy with your Heavenly Father?
God is a Father Who is good and does good. In commanding us to ask, seek and knock, He is not trying to dangle a carrot in front of us or make things complicated for us. It is actually an invitation to draw closer in our relationship and communion with Him.
There is a tendency in Christianity today to try to win the world but use the world's methods. As Keith Daniel said, “You don’t win the world by becoming like the world. The world will win you — that’s all that will happen.”
We need the Lord‘s wisdom & discernment on when to share truth and when not to share it. He knows the hearts of people, and He knows when the timing is going to be the most fruitful & most effective.
