Neighbors
Recently I heard a sermon about neighbors. It was interesting and I started to think about my situation.
I think that we all no matter where we live, how we live have a special relationship to our neighbors.
In Mark 12:31 Jesus is telling us:'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Love your neighbor! Wow and as your self!
I don’t know about you but I have some neighbors!
People that smoke constantly even in the stairways, people that play loud music often and have party’s. People that wont say hi, people that don’t clean up in our laundry!
Jesus is telling me not to Judge and to love these people as myself! Not only that ,Jesus is telling me that this is the greatest commandment.
We often think of neighbors as the people who live near us, but Jesus meant it to include all people - even our enemies! Jesus told His famous parable of the Good Samaritan to make it clear that "love your neighbor" means to love all people, everywhere - not just our friends, allies, countrymen, and so on
We are all God's children. Just as He loves all His people and is willing to forgive their sins, we must be willing to forgive others who have done wrong to us:
So start forgive your neighbors, start pray for them. I will be praying that my neighbors will receive the love of God and that they will get a personal relationship with Him. That they will be able to stop smoking, to stop drinking and to be happy for who they are.
How will you pray?
I live in Latrobe, Pa, which just happens to be home of Mr. Rogers!!!
