What a great challenge to use the things God has given to us to share His love with those around us.
33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 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.
- Luke 6:33-35 (New International Version)
Dear Lord we pray that our hearts will be open to those around us. Help us to use what You have given to us to share you love to those You bring into our life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
