Who is my neighbor?

When questioned by the teachers of the Law, the Lord Jesus said that the most important commandment is to Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, and soul. The second most important commandment is to Love your neighbor as yourself.

The question then becomes, "Who is my neighbor?"

Is he the person who lives next to me?
The child who sits in the corner all alone?
The co-worker who never talks to anyone?
The silly teenager who makes foolish choices and hurts others?
The spouse who is well known but unknown at the same time?
The people who share like values?
The people who hate you and wish to do you harm?
The people who encourage you?
The people who discourage you and call you names?

At this point, you should see that your neighbor is anyone other than yourself. So how do you share God's love with that person?

Give them a smile, a helping hand,
Ask about their family, favorite entertainment, health, day,
See what you can do for them rather than what they can do for you.

ALLOW GOD TO SHOW YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR OTHERS, AND DO IT!

God reigns (rules, leads, guides, directs), reins (controls, hold back impulses that lead to self destruction), rains (pours His healing love into the garden of our soul and moisture on to the dry and thirsty land). Pray for the REIGN, REIN, RAIN of God over the United States of America and the lost and hurting World.

Time is short. Plant the seeds of God's Love and Grace while you can.

As His child, I can be assured that He will listen to me and answer my questions, statements, and pleas for help. Today, March 16, 2020 President Trump declared that the United States is in a war with a world wide enemy - Corvid 19 or the Corona Virus. This fast moving killer of the elderly and weak invaded the world and has spread like a meteor strike. Many people have felt the effects of this virus personally for them I raise my pleas that God will give them comfort, healing, and peace. For those indirectly affected, I ask that God will pour His peace of spirit and knowledge into their hearts and minds. I am asking all of my brothers and sisters in the LORD JESUS CHRIST to pray continually and diligently that God will move swiftly to eradicate this horrible threat to humanity. I pray that God g...

Where have you been?

Have you asked that question of friends, family, classmates, the doctor, the minister, or maybe a complete stranger? BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God? The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication. In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans. June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write: I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear falling on my ear, ...
