We are to love our neighbor.
We ask, “Who is our neighbor?”
Everyone is our neighbor. We are
not to choose which children of God we want to love and who we do not want to
love dependent on their status or outward appearance. God is love.
He loves us. We love and care
for others in obedience to God. We are
not to see a need and tell the person in need, “I will pray for you”. James tells us that God wants us to do what
we can to help that person. Never tell
someone you will pray for them and neglect to do so. We read in James 5:16 that God honors our
fervent prayers. In faith, we believe with our hearts, not just our heads. God’s love and our faith are demonstrated by
what we say and what we do. Only God’s
love is perfect. Others must see His
perfect love in our actions and in our words.
The more we love and listen to the Savior, the closer we walk with Him. He becomes our friend. Abraham was a friend of God because of His
believing, righteous actions.
Now is the day of Salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Everyone who has heard the Word will make an
eternal choice to believe or not to believe.
Believing Christians will come before God to be judged and
awarded by how we have lived out our faith while on earth. The Lord knows how we love, what we say, how
we treat our neighbors, how we care for others, and what we do as witnesses and
doers for Him and His Kingdom.
Jesus is my friend. I
am alive in Christ. His Spirit is in
me. My faith is alive.
Lord, use my faith, actions, and words to your Glory each day
while I live on earth walking with you.
Thank you for being my Lord and my friend. Amen
