Spread the Gospel

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Called to a New Life in Christ

Luke 6:37-38 The Message

37-38 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.”

For Reflection

Is it really up to us to decide who is "good?"  Hate in any form yields hate in response. The will of God is that we build a community of love.  To what extent is the criticism of others a loving action?

Remember, God lives in the souls of all people, even those who are unaware of God's presence. The will of God is found in those things which unite us in love, not in divisiveness. Preserving the dignity of others and encouraging their freedom to choose is an expression of the will of God.

Pray

Pray so that you will find and encourage the spark of God that resides in the soul of each of us.
