Thursday First week of Lent

Matthew 7: 7-12 
"Do to others what you would have them do to you" 
It is difficult for some people to get this concept down, however, it is the way to Peace.  Feed the hungry, not just with food for the body, but, with food for the soul.  A smile or a good morning to a suffer soul is a blessing from God.  To minister to the sick while we, too, are ministered to is the Trinity at work. 
Being human is harder than it seems because we are asked to think and act in a counter cultural way.  We are asked to show mercy to the sinner, but, too often we slide into the cultural way of thinking and that is to join the group, to be a part of a bully squad, so we are not bullied.  We bully in silence. 
Today, show Love and Mercy in times when we would act otherwise.  That's what we are working on during Lent.  Transforming our mind and heart.  
Jesus tells us to "Ask" and it will be given.  Ask for His Love to fill us that we might fill others.
