What Goes Around Comes Around
Wisconsin’s House on the Rock owns the largest indoor carousel in the world. That merry-go-round is huge!
- 269 carousel animals
- More than 20,000 lights
- 182 chandeliers
A carousel always returns to its starting point. So does anything that moves in circles. All demonstrate what goes around comes around.
We often see what goes around comes around in daily life as well.
- If we hurt others, we can expect hurt.
- If we help others, we can expect help.
- If we ignore others, we can expect to be ignored.
We believe people should get what they deserve. We think rewards and punishment should be based on behavior. But life is not always fair. What goes around comes around is not always true.
- We don’t always reap what we sow.
- Sometimes people hurt us when we don’t deserve hurt.
- Other times people help us when we don’t deserve help.
Therefore, we must decide:
- Will we love people, regardless of how they treat us?
- Or will we give them control by acting like them?
Let’s start more circles of kindness and forgiveness. What do you think?
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32 NIV).
