Luke 6:35-36
Excerpted from: Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment!Those words reveal the very heart of God. The natural human response is to ask, "What will I get in return?" We want appreciation for kindness. We want gratitude for our sacrifices, recognition for our service, and repayment for our generosity. Yet Christ calls us to a higher standard. He calls us to love when love is not returned, to forgive when forgiveness is not appreciated, to serve when no one notices, and to give when there is no possibility of repayment. Why? Because that is exactly how God treats us.
The world says, give only if you receive, and Christ says, give hoping for nothing in return. The world says, love those who love you, and Christ says, love your enemies. The world says, judge according to appearances. Christ says, be merciful just as your Father is merciful.
