"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
—Luke 6:37-38 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We've all heard the saying "Treat others how you want to be treated", and its true. If you have a bad attitude and go about mad, people will be mean and angry back; but if you be nice and generous those people will b e nice and generous back to you. Same thing as forgiving and giving: if you forgive someone, they will forgive you (to a point, of course) and if you give, you will be given back to you (whether it's by a good day or a simple "Thank you").
My Prayer...
Dear God: help me to treat those around me well. I know I'm not perfect and I know they aren't either; so, Father, help me to also forgive others. Lord, help my attitude to be good so those who see me can see I'm happy and ask why, that way I can reply, "I have the love of God in my life". In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.
