Struggling with honesty and following the Golden Rule

Happy New Year all!

I've been struggling with the above character traits lately; I tend to be too self-centered and not giving enough.

I'm going to look up "truth" on a Bible study website and see what that yields for me.

With OCD, I'm trying not to obsess on a bad experience last night!

prayers appreciated!

((((Ocdchick)))) That last night of which you speak is only one moment in the journey of life. In taking your troubles to the Lord in prayer, and asking forgiveness, you will be forgiven. We humans are not perfect people. We make mistakes in judgements and fall off the path many times over the course of our lives. But if you continue to build a strong relationship with God, through prayer and reading of His words; the answers and the knowledge you seek, you will most surely find. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you search for a new direction in honesty and following the Golden Rule.

all prayers and hopes you find the clarity you seek and prayers for myself and all for the same this New Year... Love and Thank You God

dear ocd chick, I also was confused by the "golden rule" I thought, how can doing on to others as I would have them do unto me be right? I may not like it that way...maybe it should be "do unto others as THEY would have you to do unto them"...but then I understood something, it was never meant to be a "one way street" and if someone "does unto me" in a way other than "as I would have it" then my reaction should be as I would have someone react to me if I did the same thing, to basicly receive it in the spirit in which it was offered, understanding the real importance of giving and receiving, and just smile and say "thank you", would'nt you want someone to do that ? does this make any sense to you?
