Galatians 5:14 (NKJV) 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Loving our neighbors is so important. But it can sometimes be extremely difficult.
Very few of us choose who our neighbors are. Sometimes they move in after us. Other times, we move into a house or apartment and our neighbors are already there. Either way, we have to learn to live with, and love, our neighbors.
The way we treat our neighbors is a reflection of God and our walk with Him. Many times, our neighbors might not know that we are believers, followers of Christ, but that shouldn’t make a difference in how we treat them.
It is our duty as believers to love them and treat them with respect, as God would want us to.
Sometimes our neighbors make it hard to do so by the way they treat us. Sometimes our neighbors gossip about us. Other times they might steal from us. Still other times they might say things directly to us that hurt us.
Regardless, we are told by God’s word to love them.
We’d like to challenge everyone today, including ourselves, to live this out; To walk it out on a daily basis. Let’s shine God’s love to those around us. They may receive it. They may not. What they do with it is up to them. But what we do on our end is up to us.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
