COMMENTARY
For all of us who lived the Christian faith, we have definitely heard the phrase “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself.” But what does it really mean to love your neighbor as yourself? Do we truly understand the way Jesus Christ intended? If you are not wishing yourself accident or evil of any kind you should not also wish same to your neighbor.
To what extent do you suppose to love? Our prayers are characterized by Self. If you want your prayers to start working, commit some of your good time of prayers to pray for your neighbors and our distressed society and you will see your own cases being taken care of without you mentioning them. The greatest tragedy of a believer is self. Thought of self, love of self, care for self have made many believers miserably poor, wrenched, hungry and haggard. We are more likely to catch spirit lifting visions when we have goodwill and love towards our neighbors.
Two friends in their penultimate year in an University in United States left during vacation to India. When they arrived India, they saw numerous people walking barefooted. They were shocked. The one who observed it first, was telling his friend about the Indians poverty to the extent of not having shoes, not even slippers. He mocked them but his friend had pity on the Indians and started thinking of how to help them. He moved back to America, met a shoe company, gave him design and within few weeks thousands of shoes where made available. He shipped the shoes to India and made a lot of money from his sales. The irony of the story was that his friend who mocked Indians for being poor and backward became an employee of his own friend who saw correctly.
Food for thought: Our love towards our neighbors make us to become God's beloved.
Prayer: ```Lord give me the heart to love and good mind towards my neighbors in Jesus name.```
