And who is my neighbor?

Luke 10:29b

Our neighbors are the households near our home. Our neighbors are also the dozens without homes in an encampment about a mile away. Our neighbors are the healthcare providers that we regularly visit. Our neighbors are those who benefit from the Salvation Army and community pantry services. Our neighbors are Muslims who live in Kyrgyzstan, where my nephew’s family serves as missionaries.

Who are your neighbors? How do you find them? Use your Biblical GPS:

• Give generously to organizations that serve your neighbors.
• Pray fervently for courage and wisdom to reach out with the Good News.
• Serve your neighbors by volunteering as you are able.

Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see my neighbors and my hands to serve them. Amen.

Reflect: Consider one new way you can imitate Jesus in your church or neighborhood.
