Word of the Week
Be Compassionate and Loving. It’s Who You Are!
To you who are listening I say:
Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Your reward will be great,
and you will reflect God’s love to all,
because God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Be compassionate and loving,
just as God is compassionate and Loving.
– Luke 6:27-28, 31, 35-36
