Absorbing God’s Word
“The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31
Applying God’s Word
A few weeks ago, I met a new neighbor. Initially, it was a smile and a wave back and forth. A couple days ago though, we walked toward each other to talk. During the conversation, he mentioned that he was out of work due to a shoulder injury. I empathized with him, we shook hands and said goodbye.
I was about ten feet away when the Lord said, “Didn’t you forget something, Jack.” I turned around and called out to Hector saying, “Can I pray over your injured shoulder?” He smiled and said, “Sure”. When we were done, he said, “Thank you. I receive it.” I commented, “Rarely do I hear folks say they receive it after a healing prayer.” He smiled.
There are many ways to love our neighbors like ourselves, praying with them and for them is one of the best.
