Luke 6:27-30
To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.
I have a hard time giving to the less fortunate when I am struggling, and when I have all I need. Lord, thank you for teaching me how to hear you and for changing my heart for giving. Please help me to respond to your calling.
