And The Winner is.....(Pt.2) the Merciful

Luke 6:34-36 "34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, [a]expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. 36 [b]Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

Good morning, if you are reading this you have recieved yet another precious gift from GOD. It's called the present, you know...today, another day of life. God has chosen to give you another day to live, and He's looking to see how you are gonna handle this gift. Pictured today is some people in the country Africa. This is in a commerical area where people are buying and selling all types of goods & services. And while this picture may look a little chaotic the truth is the people in Malawi are really some of the most loving people I've ever met. Don't get me wrong many of the people at Calvary Church are like this too, but to be in a country where you feel that love almost everywhere you go is somewhat overwhelming. Now the cynic would say..."uh, duh Ray that's because they trying to sell you something to get your money.." and I would say NOT SO! Even the vendors you may refuse are not disrespectful towards you and the aim beit at a market or in the mountains is to please you, and show you the love of GOD.

Today's scripture mentions lending & loving and while you are not going to Malawi (the warm heart of Africa it is called) you are going into the market place (beit work, or out in the public) and now God want's to see how will you lend & love with this day He's given you. How you do so will determine what type of reward you are living for. He promises that when lend without expecting ANYATHING in return, and LOVE (in DEED...so you figure out what that looks like and make it happen)even our enemies, actually especially our enemies then your reward will be GREAT and you will be consider sons (daughters) of the MOST HIGH.

So ......CHARLIE SHEEN has been publicly deemed crazy, or a lunatic because he thinks he's "WINNING" and I wonder would you be considered just as crazy if your too are thinking you are "WINNING" if you aren't merciful and loving to your enemies.
