Make Progress Every Day

What books come to mind when you think of your all-time favorites? Napoleon Hill published “Think and Grow Rich” in 1937, which is one of the most transformational books I’ve ever read (in 1985). Many people thought he was only talking about financial riches. He wasn’t.

Luke 6:20-31

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21) “Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh. 22) “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man!23) Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. 24) “But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25) “Woe to you that are full now, for you shall hunger. “Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26) “Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. 27) “But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28) bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29)To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30) Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. 31) And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.“

The road is hard and the gate narrow. But you already know that. So then the next question is, “What do you do with that knowledge”?

Does he deserve forgiveness?  Will you, if you haven’t, forgive him?

Or is he unforgivable?  The lying, cheating, dirty, no good scum of the earth. Is that it?

Tempting isn’t it? Difficult, isn’t it? Will we find it impossible?

All things are possible for him who trusts in the Lord. Is that a figment of my imagination, or did I read or hear about this somewhere?

Okay, so here’s my final answer, and it comes straight from Jesus’ mouth, “Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.”
