"Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another." -Ephesians 4:25 (NASB)
I am fortunate to live in a community where I have good neighbors. My neighbors are friendly and willing to lend a hand. I try to be the same type of neighbor in return. Whether we are dealing with neighbors around our homes, neighbors in God's community of believers at church, or strangers we meet throughout our journey, we should remember to approach all of our neighbors with truth and love.
Our communities of neighbors require each person to be respectful and honest. Within God's community of believers, we need to remember to be honest with each other as well. We may not always agree on every issue, but we need to be honest about our beliefs and respectful in our disagreements. With God's love and truth, we can be good neighbors!
Be honest and loving toward all your neighbors, including those you see at church!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for placing me in a community of good neighbors. Help me to be honest with all of my neighbors, including my "neighbors" in Your community of believers. Help me to approach each person I meet with Your love and truth. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
