I don’t know about you, but I often find that the things I have done have hurt someone, very often someone I care about dearly. My intent was pure and innocent, but somehow my follow through had unexpected consequences.
I hadn’t thoroughly thought through my actions. I Corinthians 10:23-24 says, “All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful, but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” One of the measures of making good decisions, is to consider how our actions may impact others. It may seem that our next act is okay, but if we think it through, we will see how it can harm someone. We must seek to benefit others with our mindset and behaviors.
