Let unconditional Love and humility be the foundation of your interactions with others.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:
9 Let the inner movement of your heart always be to Love one another, and never play the role of an actor wearing a mask. Despise evil and embrace everything that is good and virtuous.
10 Be devoted to tenderly Loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another.
11 Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward Him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let Him fill You with excitement as you serve Him.
12 Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.
There is trouble ahead for the masses but we are to let our lights shine with joy in our hearts to encourage those with whom we come into contact.
13 Take a constant interest in the needs of God’s beloved people and respond by helping them. And eagerly welcome people as guests into your home.
This is what our Kids In Need focus is all about. It is all about helping them.
14 Speak blessing, not cursing, over those who reject and persecute you.
Our words are powerful thus we need to watch our words concerning ourselves and others.
15 Celebrate with those who celebrate, and weep with those who grieve.
16 Live happily together in a spirit of harmony, and be as mindful of another’s worth as you are your own. Don’t live with a lofty mind-set, thinking you are too important to serve others, but be willing to do menial tasks and identify with those who are humble minded. Don’t be smug or even think for a moment that you know it all.
We need to walk in humility rather than boasting of our past achievements!
17 Never hold a grudge or try to get even, but plan your life around the noblest way to benefit others.
18 Do your best to live as everybody’s friend.
We must not allow ourselves to focus on “getting even” with those who try to harm us in any way. Let FATHER evoke righteous justice:
19 Beloved, don’t be obsessed with taking revenge, but leave that to God’s righteous justice. For the Scriptures say: “If you don’t take justice in your own hands, I will release justice for you,” says the Lord.
20 And: If your enemy is hungry, buy him lunch! Win him over with kindness. For your surprising generosity will awaken his conscience, and God will reward you with favor.
21 Never let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good.
Concerning verse 19, FATHER spoke in Deuteronomy chapter 32:
35 “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.”
I have walked by this Truth and have seen FATHER’S righteous justice in action.
