Jesus –
May we listen to what You say.
May we love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who abuse us.
May we give to everyone who begs from us and do to others as we would have them do to us.
Your words are challenging. But what credit is it to us if we only love those who love us?
May we live as children of the Most High – the One who is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. May we be merciful as the Most High is merciful.
Offering abundance, may we receive abundance – a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over.
Amen.
