Luke 6:36
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Our Father is kind; you be kind ( Luke 6:36, MSG).
Yep! Once again, the Message Bible says it all in a nice little neat package. LOL! I believe these are words to live by. What a wonderful world we would live in if everyone could remember these seven little words.
It is funny how I read each version in my head today. The NIV version just kind of flowed, sing-song and sweet. The Message, on the other hand, I pictured a mom, hands on hips, looking down with that mom look, and pointing a finger at her naughty child, stressing the last three words. I wonder if that is how God sees it with us. . . LOL!
There is a quote that it seems no one really knows where it first started, but you see it on memes everywhere. It’s short, sweet, and to the point. If you ask me, God said it first in this verse. The quote is simply, “In a world where you can be anything, be kind!”
I really don’t know what else to say today. There is no deep interpretation to these words. No, further insight is needed. So, I am just going to give you a little encouragement today. Be kind to one another our there. We could all use some kindness in our lives.
Lord, send me someone who needs me to share your kindness with today. ~amen
