The Day I stop Hoping for Folks is the Day I start Failing People...

[revrandy]

Luke 6:33-35
| 33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

34And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Powerful Words spoken by our Lord...

Brethern.. I submit to you this morning the day We stop hoping or trying to see the best in Folks is the day we begin to fail them.

4 simple commands
1.Love your Enemies... Not everybody will be your freind... Not everybody will treat you right...Not everybody will be as kind to you as you are to them...

2. Do Good.... Bail Folks out.. Help them... Offer your time.. Preach the Word in Love....Be Committed to them...

3.Lend... The Good Samaritan told the Inn Keeper "whateoever thou spendest when I come again I will repay thee" Brethern although our finance is dear to us there are times when we lend and expect nothing back.. Be wise and do a good work for folks when needed.. groceries.. light bill.. necesseties...

and Finally
4. Hope for Nothing... Don't expect a constant return on your investment on this earth.. your "return" will be rewarded in heaven.. Your reward will be that you are One of His.. and Heir to the throne of Heaven..

and remember this.. Even God is kind to the Unthankful and Evil...

Always be considerate and kind as our Father is... remember sometimes you are the only Jesus they will see...

and always hope for the best in folks even when they fail you... because the day you stop hoping will be the Day you begin to fail them..

Just some thoughts..

I personally like 3 & 4 as I have a financial matter to attend to!

Seriously, these are good things to strive for, not that I am there yet, but I am striving!
