Is it not time to share your food with the hungry, and bring the poor man into your house who has no home of his own? Is it not a time to give clothes to the person you see who has no clothes, and a time not to hide yourself from your own family? Then your light will break out like the early morning and you will soon be healed.
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer. You will cry, and He will say, "Here I am." If you take the weight of sin away, and stop putting the blame on others and stop speaking sinful things and if you give what you have to the hungry, and fill the needs of those who sufer, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the brightest time of day.
You have heard that it has been said, "You must love your neighbor and hate those who hate you." But I tell you, love those who hate you. Pray for those who do bad things to you and who make it hard for you. Then you may be the sons of your Father who is in heaven. His sun shines on bad people and on good people. He send rain on those who are right with God. If you love those who love you, what reward can you expect from that? Do no even the tax-gatherers do that?
If you say hello only to the people you like, are you doing any more than others? The people who do not know God do that much. You must be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. - Jesus Christ, Matthew 5;43-48.
What more can I say, really? Rejoice, for our Lord is full of love, and greatness.
