Sons and Daughters

Luke 6:35-36 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. #Bible

This is the beauty of being a Christian, we live in the freedom, the clear conscience to Love even our enemies. Doing good to others feels good, it is absent of stress, it produces joy and peace. When we lend with the attitude of not expecting anything in return, we glorify God, and what we lend, if not repaid becomes an offering to our Father God.
At that point once again, we have no ill feelings, or strife, or even stress. We just Praise God for His Blessings that have provided us with the ability to lend in the first place. We will be just like our Father in Heaven, and He rewards us greatly even, as we realize we are acting as the sons of the Most High, our Father God.
God in His Rich Love, is even kind to the ungrateful, and the evil as also we should be, why? Because to be at peace with everyone is the path of least resistance, and it is imitating our Father God as Sons and Daughters of God, and that's just the way we act.
Oh, being Merciful, because we need so much of this Mercy from our Father God. Our Father God recognized just how much we need, that He sent His Son Jesus the Christ as a sacrifice for the extreme amount of Mercy we need. Not only to die on the Cross, but to live a perfect Life in our place, that Jesus credited to us by His death on that Cross.
The least we can do is to show Mercy to our neighbors, again demonstrating that we are the Sons and Daughters of the Most High, our Father God.

Ask Seek and Knock

Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. #Bible

We who have been born again, who have repented and declared Jesus our Lord, have been welcomed into the family of God, and God is now our Father in Heaven.
This is to ask, first of all for forgiveness of our sins, which God our Father does completely. That means we don't become a judge going around picking our brothers and sisters in the Lord apart for every inconsistency we can find.
It means we look to our Father God for everything we need, He is our source for everything. We no longer look to this world, even though God provides some of what we need from this world.
We seek what we need, first of all our salvation, then anything else we need from God our Father. Such as finding that narrow path that leads to eternity with Jesus our Lord, avoiding that broad path that leads to destruction. Anything, our wants, or desires, that cause us to seek, we go to God our Father who gives us good things.
If we come to a closed door, or a roadblock, or something that is in our way, we knock on the door to the Throne Room of Heaven where we have unreserved access, and can enter in without fear or hesitation to God our Father sitting on His Throne.
The point is we Christians must turn to our Father God through Jesus our Lord for  everything, we must act, we must pray.
Prayer is our vehicle by which we accomplish everything we do in this world, on our way to Heaven.

The light

John 12:46-47 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. 47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Jesus is the Lumination of the knowledge of God to the world. When we share Jesus we are in that Light, when we are at church we are in the Light, when we talk about Jesus we are in the Light. Sharing the Gospel is in the Light, the Light of God.
Our Believing in the Gospel, Believing in Jesus our Saviour, keeps us in the Light. We Christians have walked out of the darkness of sin, and ignorance about God into the marvelous Light, the lumination of the knowledge of God. Not only of God, but about our Righteous God, about who He is and how much God Loves us.
If anyone rejects Jesus, they are choosing to remain in their sin hidden by their own darkness.
God sees all, and Jesus has come to free them from the darkness that imprisonod them in their own sin. God will only shine the Light of His invitation on the sinner for so long. When the sinner's heart has become hardened to that point, God will give the sinner over to their hard heart, to their sin.
At that point there is no more hope for that person. They will die in their sin. Their future will be in the lake of fire with satan and all the others who have chosen the darkness of their sin, rather than a Life in Light with the Father God, Jesus our Lord, and the Holy Spirit our Companion.
