Luke 6:35 "Love your enemies. Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are thankful and wicked."
Whoa. Hold the boat. This is insane. I can understand forgiving your enemy, blessing your enemy, praying for your enemy and showing kindness to your enemy. I don't love it, but I understand Jesus' point. I don't understand just lending to them. That seems crazy. I don't consider money to be one of my big idols--maybe it is. Seems like you're putting yourself out there to get hosed. Is that language to strong for this blog? Sorry ! Maybe I'm really locked into my kingdom more than His.
On a lighter note, during this blustery day, Gracie and I were watching the trees blow in the wind. She giggled and said, "Those trees are dancing!"
