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❤

Wow, how real and raw. I am a very different breed... I love like a puppy, an irritating needy one at times. That is my raw and real truth. I too need His help to love better, to be better, because He deserves my efforts and His creations are beautiful, especially when He is dwelling in them. I think loving like a baby kitten shows you were given the gift of discernment. I don't know, of course, I am guessing. I mean, maybe you take time before you pounce in like tigger. I do not take time. Maybe, I should. I guess maybe it is a balance thing, and I trust He will get us there. Zelda, Sis, you are a blessing and I am so grateful to you for your transparency. I have often misjudged people that are more reserved, assuming they lack heart, when clearly my assumption is what lacks heart. I think it unfair for people to assume because I'm more demonstrative that I'm insincere, but it is just as unfair to assume a lack of demonstrating implies a lack of warmth and beauty. So yeah, you have me smiling because as you share your natural and selfless inclination to help others in need; I am encouraged and inspired. We have much to praise Him for, Huh? His agape love, His truth, His Selflessness are so beyond beautiful and so real.

The fact that you acknowledge His love shows that You understand the real deal. I can't always just react like a fool which is why wisdom is heard for in my pleas to He who is JESUS who is most definetly real. Sister all will be well so long as we believe and know that the Holy Spirit is truly the one at the wheel. Be blessed in love from above and equip yourself well with the armour of God our king has provided.
And when your tears fall remember it hurts like hell when we fall.
But all in all we are not alone
His light has shone
He will lead us home❤👑
