ON GUARD
Think about what you are thinking about, and don't stop there. Take it a step further and think about the things above. Do everything you do on purpose. Intentionally be kind, generous, and forgiving. Love hopes all things... what are you hoping for?
"But 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. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Luke 6:35-36
Lay off being critical of others. Pray for others. Pray God's will for them not your own. You may think a person deserves a beating, deserves what they get, but God wants them to come to Him and exchange the weight of the world for His easy yoke and light burden.
Colossians 3:12-17
"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father."
