How do I love my neighbor?
See this is extremely important in my walk with You.
What am I to do?
The closer I am to YOU the further away I become from the world.
The joy of gingerbread t-shirts and sweetly decorated frappe does not call to me in any way.
The shallow meanial converstaions remind me how self absorbed we can truly be.
If I dont sit and talk or express my opinion about others and the world then I must not love my family who is so close knit and adore each other.
If I walk away from a woman who demands respect but is compassionless in all her request and ways then I become the one at risk...
The one at risk of falling off this narrow path LEAD BY CHRIST..
The one at risk of being told depart from me I never knew thee...
Your commands are clear
To love You above all
And to love thy neighbor as thyself
Even when I attempt to greet people its as if they cant hear me so I stop.
There is too much at risk to not calculate the cost
Pick up my cross
And love
I want to smile and say its ok when they tell me the doctor wont see me no way...
I want to smile and say thank you when they call and say " your son has an appointment today but we no can no longer see him..
I want to say hello and greet everyone but their busy chatting away...
Sometimes I wonder how they find so much to talk about and say..
I have to kneel down and admit I did not love my neighbor today
I dont hate anyone
I just dont think love is a kiss and a hug from a stranger
I dont think love is being compassionless about medical needs...
I dont think love is me chatting about worldy affair and self absorbed desires....
But when someone needs help and I am there I immediately tend to them...
Even though I am poor if I had 10 dollars and I see grandpa struggling there now his not mine...I'll be fine
I do not much kiss and hug
I do not much speak
It kills me to even think of hanging out
But compassion to the elderly and poor is what I am all about
I did not love my neighbor today..no..not in the way the world would expect me to.
Instead of fights or feeling entitled to basic human rights I walk away and cry to Father above
Reminding myself that it's not about me
and truth be told after all I have written
I love...love like a baby kitten❤
