Powerful Realization: Carelessness, in some people will often manifest itself as lazy, because they are being self-absorbed. Some people mistake this as self- love. Nevertheless, when a person has self-love,... loving others is easy.
You heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you.
So,that you become sons of your Father in the heavens. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. “For if you love those loving you.
What reward have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too? And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Are the tax collectors not doing so too? Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect.
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:43-48 TS2009
Give ear, O Shepherd of Yisra’ĕl, Who leads Yosĕph like a flock; Who dwells between the keruḇim, shine forth! Before Ephrayim, Binyamin, and Menashsheh, Stir up Your might, And come and save us! Cause us to turn back.
O Elohim, And cause Your face to shine, That we might be saved! O יהוה Elohim of hosts, How long shall You be wroth Against the prayer of Your people? You have caused them to eat the bread of tears, And have caused them to drink With tears.
A third time. You have made us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies laugh among themselves. Turn us back, O Elohim of hosts, And cause Your face to shine, That we might be saved! You brought a vine out of Mitsrayim; You drove out the nations.
And planted it. You cleared a place for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land. Hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its twigs. She spread her branches to the Sea, And her shoots to the River. Why have You broken down her hedges.
So that every passer-by plucked her fruit? The boar out of the forest ravages it, And the wild beast of the field devours it. Return, we beg You, O Elohim of hosts; Look down from heaven, and see, And visit this vine, And the stock which Your right hand has planted.
And the Son whom You made strong for Yourself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your face. Let Your hand be upon the One at Your right hand, Upon the Son of Aḏam whom You made strong for Yourself.
And we shall not backslide from You. Revive us, and let us call upon Your Name. Turn us back, O יהוה Elohim of hosts, And cause Your face to shine, That we might be saved!
Tehillim (Psalms) 80:1-19
