1 Corinthians 10:33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
Romans 15:2-3 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
The solution to the economic and labor problems suffocating us is not legislating new laws, or introducing new taxes – The solution is this new-kind of Love that Jesus brought us.
Our present world is filled with selfishness and wickedness everywhere. Everyone is seeking to swindle the other. The employer is cheating the employee, and the employee is doing same to the customer. Government officials are stealing from the national coffers and impoverishing the citizenry. Religious leaders are fleecing the flock. And there are fraudsters and con-men in every corner looking for someone to devour. Strikes and economic upheavals have become commonplace as a result.
What is the issue? Love is missing. When this Jesus-Kind Of Love is present, men will say what Paul said, that
“I please all men in all things, NOT SEEKING MINE OWN PROFIT, BUT THE PROFIT OF THE MANY”. Employees will not be dafrauding their employers with their work input. The government will give citizens their due, and every one will be looking out for the profit and interest of their neighbor. Wow! What societies we would have! LET IT START WITH YOU. LET LOVE REIGN BY YOU. BE THE JESUS THAT YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOUR WORLD WOULD KNOW. LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE. Amen!
GRACEFUL MORNING
