Proverbs 11:17 -- On Choosing Who to Be

"The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh."
Proverbs 11:17


A simple lesson from God today. When we help others, we help ourselves, and when we harm others, we harm ourselves. I don't even think it is karma... just a deep, spiritual truth. We can't keep our thoughts and actions towards others from having an impact on our souls and our bodies. There is no way of separating ourselves from that consequence. We are either becoming better, purifying ourselves, or becoming worse, corrupting ourselves, and we are choosing who we *are* by how we act, every moment, every day. I think we have all felt sick after doing something, and needed to make it right before we could move on from that. Today, let's keep this lesson in mind, and choose more wisely how we treat others, so that we aren't harming anyone, including ourselves.
