We live in a world that is full of hatred. How are we to respond to this? We are to love our enemies; we are to bless instead of curse; we are to pray for people who hurt us; if someone takes from us, we are to give them more; we lend expecting not to get it back. We are not to keep the focus on ourselves when trying to live this way, but to see what God has already done for us through Jesus Christ. We are to be merciful in our approach to others because God is merciful to us. Is your love self-serving, expecting something in return? Our love should be as self-giving, not through our own strength, but with the help of God.
