35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
These verses are very clear if we are willing to follow them. It is not easy to do what the “world”
says is unwise, foolish or even dangerous. But Jesus has a higher calling for us. Jesus wants us to make the world better and to not answer to the status quo. These verses, though not easy, give us very explicit directions on how to do just that. We just have to be willing!
Prayer
Lord help me to love my enemies, show me where to give without expecting anything in return, and let me not to judge others. Amen
