last night @ body life...

...we spent some time soaking in the scriptures. we focused on luke 6:27-36 (expanded passage: luke 6:27-39).

spend some time this week marinating in the words Jesus spoke.

READ the passage aloud slowly and thoughtfully. repeat. read it in another translation. we read it out of the message:remix on tuesday. if you don't have a copy of the message, you can read it online here.

THINK about what Jesus is saying to you through this passage. ask yourself:
***if Jesus spoke these words to me, what would they mean?
***which words stand out to me?
***what might Jesus be trying to get across to me?

PRAY about how He would have you apply this passage to your life. tell Him what you think about what He is saying in this passage. listen for His response.

put what you are learning into practice. LIVE out this lesson.
***let your enemies "bring out the best in you"
***respond with the energies of prayer for people
***"practice the servant life" when someone is unfair
***"live generously"
***give without expecting in return


lesson taken from the message//remix:solo an uncommon devotional by eugene h. peterson
