S - Luke
6:35 (NIV)
35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them
without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you
will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the
ungrateful and wicked.
O – 1. Love your enemies
2. Do good to them
3. Lend to them without expecting anything back.
4. Reward will be great
5. Will be children on most high
6. He is Kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
A – We can love the people who are nice to us and
treat us well. But can we be equally be nice to the ones who mistreat us, who
hates us and make us suffer? No!! our flesh doesn’t allow that. But that is
what Christ call us to do. We need to be good to people no matter what they did
to us and never expect anything back from them. We need to die to our fleshly
nature not to hold the grudge against them. We are the children of the most
high and He calls us to transform to His image. He died for us who did not deserve
this precious sacrifice. How cruel the people were to the Lord!! And How they
crucified Him who did nothing but heal and love people!!! Did He stop then and
ask “Why am I doing all this for these unworthy lot?” No, He didn’t!! He died
for us, He knows our weakness. When we do in the same manner He will be honored
and He will reward us for it.
P – Precious Heavenly Father, How tough it is to
forgive and forget what people have done and love them with all our hearts. Yes,
When I see the person I can remember the wrong that they had done. Let me able
to see them through your eyes, how you see - not the sin in us but your own
image. Help me to see them as your children and lead them to you. I know I have
the strength of the Holy Spirit within me and I can love just as you have loved
each one of us.
In Jesus mighty name,
Amen
