Remind the believers to yield to the authority of rulers and government leaders, to obey them, to be ready to do good, to speak no evil about anyone, to live in peace, and to be gentle and polite to all people.
Titus 3:1-2
I see a lot of commercials on television and hear them on the radio about companies who will for a "small fee" will check your DNA to see where your ancestors came from. Honestly, I thought about this for a long time, then I saw how much the "small fee" turned out to be, and decided that WHERE I came from is not as important as where I AM.
We are where we are. I'm not saying our personal ancestry is unimportant, but can you go back in time and change any part of it? We are right HERE right NOW, so let's work on getting along and MOVE FORWARD so our ancestors can look back and see that we did the most amazing thing ever....realize that we are all human beings!
We should be ready to do GOOD to others. Not for any reward from them, but simply because it's the right thing to do. We should speak evil of no one. This is a hard one to stick to, and I struggle with this sometimes, but am working on that.
Living in peace with others makes a great place for others to want to come live. Especially when we are gentle and polite to ALL.
Ponder that for a bit.
