People are Not Easy to Love no. 23

“Show compassion, just as your Father shows compassion. Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and you will receive gifts — the full measure, compacted, shaken together and overflowing, will be put right in your lap. For the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure back to you” (Luke (Luk) 6:36-38! Compassion, forgiveness, and charity are a reflection of our love for Him.

We need to show compassion for others. God shows us the ultimate compassion by sending us the path to salvation. We do not deserve His compassion BUT He gives it to us freely regardless. We need to show compassion to others not because they deserve compassion BUT because He has shown us compassion.

We need to forgive others. God forgives us forgiveness for what we have done. We do not deserve His forgiveness BUT He gives it to us freely regardless. We need to forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness BUT because He has shown us forgiveness.

We need to be charitable. God gives us everything that we have. We do not deserve His charity BUT He gives to us freely regardless. We need to give to others not because they deserve charity BUT because all that we have is His.

Compassion, forgiveness, and charity are a reflection of our love for Him. “For the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure back to you.”
