Love Thy Neighbor

"Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person." --Proverbs 3:27(MSG)

Sometimes it's hard for me to try to help others if they aren't directly asking for help. Why help someone who doesn't want to be helped?

When you step back and think, God doesn't have to help us out. He didn't have to send his son to die for us. He doesn't have to love us. He doesn't have to forgive us. But he does!

We were all created by the same God. People really aren't so different from one another. Cultures may differ, skin colors may not be the same shade, styles may change, and what's "in" may be "out" tomorrow. But all people want to feel appreciated. Everyone desires to be loved.

That's where we step in. When people are lost, we can show them God's love, joy, and hope. We can show them how God has helped us, and tell them they can have that too. We all can do something because we all can love,and by doing so we can show other's God's love through us.

So never walk away from someone who deserves help, just love them as God loves you.
