"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. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
Today's question is:
"ARE WE LOVING LIKE JESUS LOVED?"
The excuse many will make is that:
"JESUS IS PERFECT, I'M NOT!"
While this is true, we must not forget that:
"HE CALLS US TO PERFECTION!"
In other words:
"WE ARE TO STRIVE IN OUR PURSUIT OF HOLINESS!"
"WHETHER THAT MEANS DYING TO SELF!"
"OR DARING TO LIVE FOR SOMEONE ELSE!"
"WE MUST CONTINUALLY SEEK A HIGHER FORM OF OBEDIENCE!"
"SOMETIMES OBEDIENCE TO GOD REQUIRES BEING MERCIFUL TO THOSE WHO STAND IN OUR WAY OF SAID PURSUIT!"
"THE GREATEST EVIDENCE OF GROWTH IS NOT STEPPING ON OTHERS TO REACH OUR GOAL, BUT LIFTING THEM UP & CARRYING THEM THROUGH!"
"HELPING OTHERS REACH HOLINESS IS THE GREATEST ACT OF MERCY WE CAN EVER PERFORM!"
