God, Others And You

"Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard." Proverbs 21:13 NKJV

Let me go straight to the point: what you do to others, or for others, will be done to you and for you, and what you do not do to others, or for others will not be done to you. You have no right to expect from God what you cannot give to others. You determine how God responds to you by your response to others! Every single thing that you do to/for others determines what you are qualified to receive from heaven!

Jesus taught us to pray thus: "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." In other words, you can only expect forgiveness when you forgive others. Don't be deceived, if you refuse to forgive you will not be forgiven! Jesus said, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15. He said it again and again, establishing this truth!

Luke 6:37-38 says, “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” So you see, it's really up to you!
