People often ask me, “J, how do you stay so positive when you know folks be straight hatin’ on you? Why do you still support and go out of your way to love on them when they don’t love you?” And my reply is always this:
“For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
Romans 5:10-11
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Luke 6:32-35
It’s our job as Children of God to display Jesus to a dying world. Not to melt out the punishment in store for those we deem unworthy of God’s Grace. God can handle His own. I love because God is Love, and so am I!
