"Something Has Got to Give"

 "It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools." (Ecclesiastes 7:5 KJV)

  ""What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man. When that happens, be happy! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, their ancestors treat the ancient prophets that same way."" (Luke 6:22-23 NLT)

 Interesting how things happen, as if they are made to happen as a way to verify something is true, that something is from the Lord, or to show you that the Spirit is working in the whole church, making the Word of God alive and present in these last days! This is more than just about you and me; this is about the fact that the King is coming, and we need to be about The King's Business...

 ""But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you. If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get the credit? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get the credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return. Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate."" (Luke 6:27-36 NLT)
