What do you do more than others?

"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?"

Matthew 5 : 46 (New King James Version)

"I never get angry...but only with this person...this person just talks so illogical and always for no reason finds fault and criticizes me.... otherwise im a cool person....." Ever said that ?? I know I used to :-)

All of us can be nice and sweet to those who are sweet inturn...but how many of us can be the same loving calm peaceful person to those who are otherwise ?

This is what the word of God says in verse 44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,"

Love whom ? Your enemies
Bless whom ? Those who curse you
Do good to whom ? Those who hate you
Pray for whom ? Those who spitefully use you and persecute you

Wow ! And do you know why we ought to do this ? We read in verse 45 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" So that we may be like our Father !!! We are His children... We carry His name.... We ought to be like Him. Our God is so merciful and just . He is so faithful and no one can ever imagine the depth of His love.....

We read in verse 47 , "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?" We are not people of this world ! No no no .... We are His children ! We are to do things differently...

May the Lord work in us and change us for His glory

God Bless
