Everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12 NIV

We lose a lot of blessings that we never even know about simply because we fail to do unto others what we would like to have others done for us. We always want to be blessed by others but do we take the initiative to unselfishly bless them first? Our marriages, families, careers, businesses or friendships aren't what we would like them to be but we can literally turn them around by adopting this one principle right now. The principle of J.O.Y. Jesus first, Others second and Yourself third. You may have been waiting for your spouse to do something for you. Maybe you have even been stubbornly refusing to help a friend because you want them to help you first.

Living this way can be selfishly comfortable but things will never change until you decide to actively change them. It's time to swallow our pride and save our relationships. Instead of sitting around, focusing on ourselves, waiting for blessings to come our way, it's time to actively make sacrifices and serve the people God has placed in our lives. Be a servant and make others the focus. Instead of feeling rejected and ignored, you'll be amazed at how your relationships improve when you treat others the way you want to be treated. Don't forget the J.O.Y principle.

Prayer Starter: God, I have nothing to gain by living a selfish life. Instead of waiting for people to be good to me, I'm going to be good to them first, treating them the way I want to be treated. I'll always apply the J.O.Y principle.
