Only One
who knows
the heart
can be kind
to the ungrateful
and wicked.
But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in
return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the
Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be
merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Do not judge, and you
will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to
you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over,
will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the
measure you get back.” Luke 6:35-38 (nrsv)
