Graces and Analyses

Berkeley, Monday, September 29, 2025

Sleeping schedule is screwed up.

Life is pretty much about building relationships.

Using well time. Putting the effort to fulfill one’s word.

Asking in every time guidance to the Lord. So one can serve Him.

Respect and honor father and mother.

I believe that one stays where is received.

But it is also good not to be static.

Fill my heart and my spirit Lord. And my mind. And my soul.

Forgive my sins and we forgive to those who sin against me.

Do not give up on anyone.

Here it is a question mark. What about the bullies?

I copied a few qoutes from Matthew Chapter 5 below.

In general, one must learn to stand the ground, and showing the other cheek. I believe that things become clearer with time.

But one must stay where one is received.

Teaching About Retaliation.

38^* “You have heard that it was said,^x ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

39^y But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.

40If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well.

41Should anyone press you into service for one mile,^* go with him for two miles.^z

42Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.^a

Love of Enemies.^*

43^b “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’^c

44But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,

45that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.

46For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors^* do the same?

47And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?^*

48So be perfect,^* just as your heavenly Father is perfect.^d

On another topic, from the one above, but I copied because it is in the same chapter, which is about marriage and marrying a divorced woman.

Teaching About Divorce.

31^* “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.’^t

32But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.^u
