Do to others what you would want them to do to you. If you love only the people who love you, what praise should you get? Even sinners love the people who love them. If you do good only to those who do good to you, what praise should you get? Even sinners do that! If you lend things to people, always hoping to get something back, what praise should you get? Even sinners lend to other sinners so that they can get back the same amount! But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without hoping to get anything back. Then you will have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, because he is kind even to people who are ungrateful and full of sin. Show mercy, just as your Father shows mercy. “Don’t judge others, and you will not be judged. Don’t accuse others of being guilty, and you will not be accused of being guilty. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Infinitum is a way of life centered on following Jesus by loving God and loving others through an emphasis on the habits and disciplines of surrender, generosity, and mission. We aim to see the Bible and also the world through these Jesus-colored lenses. This short reading plan is based on the habit of Generosity.
Love your enemies. Be good to everyone. Have mercy. What exactly does that look like? It's more than biting your tongue and holding your peace. Or, refraining from responding to a hateful deed. It's more than not going out of your way to expose a person after receiving VIP access to a shameful fact about them. This call to action requires us to examine the 'love' department in our lives.
At times you may feel as if you're the only one who is doing good toward others. You think, "Hey is anybody else out there helping anyone?" Galatians 6:9-10 is a good reminder when you are feeling this way.
