For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? — Matthew 5:46
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? — Matthew 5:47

Again, deep! 😢 it’s not true love if we only give it to only those we feel deserve it.

Exactly, and God wants us to love everyone like He loves every one. For we are all His children, and we should act like it. It’s not always the easiest but He will help us, if we ask, and try :):)

Absolutely Miriam, and a great reminder of how we should treat EVERYBODY, not just who we love, or who we feel deserve it. Here, I feel, He is telling us that it isn’t our job to decide who deserves it but to do it for everyone. Just like He does for all of us.
