Tuesday: Do Unto Others (2)

"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you."

Schools day, schools day, dear old pray for schools day ... Praying and praising our Lord for kids, taught to the tune of God's dear word ... Schools day, schools day, dear old pray for schools days ...

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters, and yes you may sing that little song this morning as we pray for our schools. Please folks, if you live near a school, pass by a school, take a little time from your very busy life and stop and pray for the school, better yet, anoint the school with oil. Yes, anoint the school with oil, and pray your heart out for it. You say you want to cause some attention, just go to the school, go to the sign or the flag pole and get down on your knees and pray for that school.

Why do we wait?? This morning I watched as one news channel showing the commuter train wreck in Washington, DC, interviewed a Priest. He talked on how he helped by leading the people in the car he was in, in the Lord's prayer. I think that was wonderful, and moreso that the news even showed it. But why do we wait? When we get in our car, or a bus, a train, or a plane, do we pray and ask for safety in travel, and moreso when the trip is over, do we thank God for the safe trip?

It is the same with our schools. It seems after a tragedy hits then we all get together and pray is ok. Kids killed in an accident, we put a cross up on the accident place. WHERE DO WE PUT THE CROSS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT? Brothers and sisters, I got off message here this morning. I need to ask God for a message on that subject Where do we put the cross in good times? Ok, back to

Do unto others (2): Luke 6: 27 - "But I tell you who hear me; Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you." (NIV) Yesterday I mentioned that those who have family troubles where family members are not speaking to one another should try and patch it all up. EVEN IF YOU HAVE DONE IT BEFORE, you have tried and tried, folks please try again. Do you think that God gives up on us at our very first sin? No, and we should not give up on others even if they hate us. And that is not just limited to our family members. I am so blessed by a family that does not carry things overnight, and I mean that 100%. If we have a family problem, the problem might not get fixed in a day, but the things that grow out of a difference, a fight so to speak, is not taken to bed. It is not, even to this day. A call is made and voices come together and say I love you to each other, and that always helps to work out a problem. Folks, in the name of Jesus I tell you in His own words: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you." And Jesus did not waste many words on this. This brothers and sisters is one of the two great commandments ... Love your neighbors. And brothers and sisters your neighbors are not just those in your family, those who live next door or across the street, your neighbors live in all the countries of the world. LOVE THEM, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, LOVE THEM. Do you know that it is much easier to love than to hate? Love will warm your body, mind and soul, and hate will just eat you apart. Love is good, Hate is evil. Love conquers all, hate conquers nothing at all except for more hate ... Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven, help us to love, help us to love all things good and the only hate we want is to hate evil, hate Satan. We even want to love those who work for Satan, we want to hug them and show Your love to them. Lord, help us with this. Help us to patch up any and all hate in our lives with love. Help us when the family has grown apart. And Lord, be with our school kids and all who work with them. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Go forth loving one another and sharing your blessings ... love ya, dan.
