Fence Lines – Part One: Pay It Forward
Scripture: Luke 6:32–36
Jesus calls us to love others without expecting anything in return. God loved us first, reaching toward us before we ever reached for Him. As followers of Jesus, we are called to show that same kind of love, asking not how others have treated us, but “What would love have me do?” Healthy boundaries may be necessary, but they should not become an excuse to stop loving. We can choose kindness and pray for others without allowing bitterness to take root or needing to know how they will respond.
Next Steps:
• Reach out to someone I’ve grown tired of reaching toward, if appropriate, showing kindness without expecting anything in return.
• Pray for someone I’ve needed to keep my distance from, choosing to love them without allowing bitterness to take root.
Dinner Table Discussion Question:
How can we be kind to someone even if they aren't kind to us?
