When you read from verses 43 to 48, it speaks of loving those who perform iniquities against you. Verse 48 says to be perfect as your Father is perfect. How many of us abuse grace or take the Lord's name in vain? We're all unjust. God loves us anyway. So, when someone is "abusing" you, love them. We abuse God, and he loves us still, thus strive to be more like God in His love for the just and us.

Often people will speak of the signs of the times, natural disasters, pandemics, war. And, they'll say the end is near. But, do we prepare for it? Do, we try to change from our old sinful clothes into our new garments? People say, look at all the terrible things in the world is coming. God is at work. Then we go out and keep abusing grace and being jerks towards one another. When someone says to me the end of the world is coming, look at all the terrible things. I ask them what are they doing to get ready? Or, are they just making conversation?

Thank you Geoff - those were very worthy & pertinent comments you shared. May we all "redeem wisely the time that the Lord gives us during these days of evil & grief to our souls".
