Scripture Thought Of The Day - May 26, 2023

But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;  That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  - Matthew 5:44-45 (American KJV))

God doesn't only do good to those who deserve it.  He does good to all because He IS good and our Father wants us to be like Him.  We're to treat everyone with the same goodness that God has given to us when we surely didn't deserve it.  No, it doesn't feel good to be mistreated but God doesn't feel good when we keep sinning against Him yet He is continually good to us.
