If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that! And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. Luke 6:32-35
Are you still there? Hard words, yes? And yet The Lord was and is wanting to open us up to a deeper truth and a higher way.
I think this scripture is one worth meditating on, chewing over, praying over and giving The Lord room to speak.
We are quick to explain away such scripture. How about chewing on it.
I had the opportunity to charge an enemy a high price for my business service today but as I created my invoice I was mindful of The Lord, 'what is right?' I asked and I knew, so that is what I charged.
There are times when I have been 'ripped off' severely and I have know to let it go.
The Lord is better at justice than me and He is not having a problem with the flesh at the same time. Trust Him! Amen!
