Children of the Most High

“
And as you wish
that others would do to you,
do so to them.

If you love
those who love you,
what benefit is that to you?
For even sinners love
those who love them.

And if you do good
to those who do good to you,
what benefit is that to you?
For even sinners do the same.

And if you lend
to those from whom you expect to receive,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
to get back the same amount.

But love your enemies,
and do good,
and lend,
expecting nothing in return,
and your reward will be great,
and you will be sons of the Most High,
for he is kind
to the ungrateful and the evil.
Be merciful,
even as your Father is merciful.

Judge not, and you will not be judged;
condemn not, and you will not be condemned;
forgive, and you will be forgiven;
give, and it will be given to you.

Good measure,
pressed down, shaken together, running over,
will be put into your lap.
For with the measure you use
it will be measured back to you.”

~ Luke 6.31-38 ESV

Oh Holy Spirit
please guide me and make me kind
like the Father
