Who do you love?

[Boanerges(Inactive)]

Who do you love?

Luk 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luk 6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Luk 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Absolutely!
That internal reward and joy comes from loving, serving and being good to those who don't love you, don't know you,,,,,,,,
Be that light that shines for Jesus!

I really liked this part in the movie, "Passion of the Christ". Jim Caviezel (sp) did a great job in that role...I think he played the part well, because he didn't seem to have this poor-me kind of attitude that some actors can get when they're portraying our Saviour.

Instead, there was a smile on his face! His eyes were beaming, and he brought this message across (even in another language) so that it struck home.

Love them. Don't nail together picket signs and march outside the places where they gather. Don't send bombs over to blast them. Don't clench your fist and hit them. Don't scream curses at them. Don't get angry with them. Love them.

I really like that. It gives my own life new hope every time I read this.
