Does our attitude towards others matter?
A lady mistakenly brushed my car in a shopping mall about two years ago. She came out of her car looking all shaken and remorseful. Obviously, she was scared of my expected reaction. I looked at the dent in my vehicle. I wasn’t happy about it but I asked her to go. I told her I would fix it myself. A year after that incident, I dented another lady’s car in that same mall. She came out of her vehicle angrily and looked at her bumper. It was dented. But surprisingly, she said to me, madam you can go.
These two separate incidents left an impression in my heart. When we sow a seed of love towards others, we never know when and how we will reap it. We should never exercise undue advantage over others when we have an opportunity to do so. The seed of love we sow today may come back to us in a way we never expected.
‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12’
