Luke 6:32
Luke 6:32
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.
The Lady Bing trophy is awarded to a player for the most sportsman like conduct. This is the only sport that actually gives an award for playing within the rules. Sounds ridiculous? Not really considering it’s the only sport where fighting is generally expected and only punished by 5 minutes of offsetting penalties. The point is that to play in such a tough field, and still keep courteous to those who generally don’t deserve it, deserves to be acknowledged and rewarded.
Life Lesson: The world can be a tough place to live with love for your fellow man who isn’t so loving. But that is what God is doing daily with us; Forgiving our sins and wanting to have a continuous relationship with him, even when we don’t show good reason. If everyone was so easy to get along with we would never understand the meaning of forgiveness, compassion, and true love.
