Love Without An Agenda
By Mark Flippo
Romans 12: (MSG)
14-16 Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody.
17-19 Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody. Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.”
20-21 Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.
How many of you have had someone in your life at one time that wanted to be near you because they had their own agenda with you? Work can be one of those places that an individual will kiss up to you and you know they are untrue. Is there someone that always wants to borrow money? At times your grown kids will use you for their own selfish reasons. It is sad but it happens. We need to read and remember the above scriptures. They will help us grow in the Lord Jesus and handle people kindly but with Wisdom!
