This is my kind of passage. No confusion for me here; be the good and the rest will follow. In practice, I’m constantly reminding myself that it is not my place to pass judgement. The reward that I see isn’t a direct correlation that others aren’t, in turn, judging me. It is more that I am set free from the bounds of an imperfect judgement of another. Similarly, forgiveness isn’t so I will then be forgiven, but more that I (and they) may benefit from the freedom, the connection and the lightness that forgiving another brings. To me, these words tell us to bask in the glow of keeping a door open. Tangible “good things” may or may not follow, but a generous, compassionate heart brings its own rewards both inward and outward.
