The beginning paragraph is the best part. “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.” It’s really hard to follow that, but I think if everyone could then we’d be much better off. Anger between two people or two countries can build so easily, it happens everyday. Even if it started off as an accident, like a girl A glares at girl B, now girl B hates girl A, so girl A hates her back, then they’re friends get involved and you have two schools hating each other. That’s only a minor thing, anger towards other countries builds up all the time as well, before you know it, countries hate each other because of one or two guys.
I really like when he says “Don’t judge, and you will not be judged; don’t condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you.” The way you treat everyone, is the same way you’re treating God. God is in all of us so we should start treating everyone else well if we expect God to treat us the same way in Heaven. I think of judging as more of an acceptance. Because judging is seeing the world the way we think it should be, rather than how it is, so that’s what we base our judgments on. So if you start accepting everyone, then people will tend to be more accepting of you. And if you forgive, people will tend to be more forgiving towards you in the future, and so will God. And if you give, you will be rewarded in Heaven.
