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.
