Loving My Neighbor

Holy Spirit suggested I be out front in the flower garden as God set me up to being Jesus to my neighbor.

I heard a crash as the neighbor boy fell over on his new bike. He didn’t move until I checked on him, then he stood and picked his bike up. His training wheel was out of place and the cause of his fall.

I told them to wait as I went and grabbed our Ratchet set. Returning I tighten the bolt and checked the other side to keep him safe.

His little sister asked, “Why are you helping us?”

I said, “I’m your neighbor and that is what Jesus would do!”

She responded, “I like Jesus, He is everywhere!”

Why would she ask, “Why are you helping?” She is Three or four years old and she doesn’t expect people to help?

She is not the first person to ask, “Why are you helping me?” or  “Why did you stop to talk with me?”

I do hope people will join me and act to help when they see a need.

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,

but with humility of of mind let each of us regard one another as more important than ourselves;

not merely looking our for our own personal interests, but also the interests of others.
