Good morning Beloved

Be merciful

Luke 6:35 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.
6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Beloved, the word of GOD says be merciful. The word of GOD is straightforward in the text above
- love your enemies - love those who hates and despise you.
- do good to them, all of them. Don't keep grudge towards but be good towards them.
- lend to them and after all this not expecting anything in return, not expecting to get paid pay back - your reward is great and awaits you so there is no need seeking for repayment from the person who you express love to.

The emphasis here is doing good to that person who despised you and hate you due to one issue or the other, irrespective of your past, do good to them. Christ still asked for forgiveness for those who killed and mocked Him as well as Stephen. This is the example Christ wants us to follow and Beloved doing good to those that are good to you is common even in the world.

Luke 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
6:34 And 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.

Beloved, the Lord seek that you be merciful irrespective of what the person has done or is doing. Be merciful like your Father (who gives rain to the good and evil, gives life to good and evil, provides and protects the good and evil) in Heaven and He will be merciful to you.

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Beloved, be merciful and great shall be your reward. Be merciful and you shall also obtain mercy. Don't seek for repayment for good deeds done, GOD is best rewarder and He will surely reward you in His time if you diligently obey His word.

You are a true son of your Father in Heaven if you are merciful to your enemies and expecting nothing in return.

The Grace of the Lord be with you.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.
