00:00Can you show someone kindness today without expecting anything in return?
00:04Luke 6 verse 35 says,
00:07Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.
00:13It is easy to be kind when kindness is returned.
00:16It is easy to love people who love us.
00:19But Jesus calls us to a deeper kind of love.
00:22A love that doesn't depend on recognition.
00:25A love that doesn't keep score.
00:27A love that reflects the grace we have received from God.
00:31This doesn't mean accepting abuse or ignoring healthy boundaries.
00:35It means refusing to let bitterness shape your heart.
00:38Choose to do good because you belong to Jesus.
00:42Let's pray.
00:42Lord, teach me to love with a generous heart.
00:46Help me show kindness without needing recognition.
00:49And give me wisdom to love others in a healthy and faithful way.
00:53Amen.
00:54Let your love reflect God's grace.
00:57Not someone else's response.
