Measure

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be watching over us as we make our decisions for this day. Thank You for all of the great gifts that You have given us and please forgive our sins as we forgive the mistakes of others. Please show us the way to measure out the proper proportions of love that we distribute among those that we touch on this day, and may we not move away and pass by when we see needs that we can help with. Please lead us into opportunities to demonstrate wisdom and when we are misled by selfish motives may the results be humbling lessons of the truths that Jesus taught and still teaches this day to those who will listen. Please show us that the more seeds of love that we sow, the larger the harvest of peace and joy that will surround us. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Mt 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Mt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 

Ga 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Ga 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 
Ga 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 
Ga 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
