Prov 11:17 A man who is kind benefits himself…. Luke 6:35 (ESV)Love your enemies, & do good, & lend, expecting nothing in return, & your reward will be great, & you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the ungrateful & the evil. — Oh what a scripture challenge! What does it mean to actually love your enemies, that is those who hate us. We are to do good for them, willing to lend to them, & expecting nothing in return! If we can learn to be kind even when kindness doesn’t come back in return, we are set for great rewards! Some word from Matthew Henry’s Commentary, “These are hard lessons to flesh and blood. But if we are thoroughly grounded in the faith of Christ’s love, this will make His commands easy to us. Every one that comes to Him for washing in his blood, and knows the greatness of the mercy and the love there is in Him, can say, in truth and sincerity, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Let us then aim to be merciful, even according to the mercy of our heavenly Father to us.” All I can say is “practice makes perfect”! Love Mel
