Why Is It Good To Remember Your Neighbour?
A couple of Christians from a particular church decided to go out
and distribute food in the street. One of the ladies that received their token
was overjoyed. One of the Christian sisters that were part of the team
distributing food said that when she was a little girl, a particular woman that
was in church every Sunday was starving. Nobody in church knew she was
starving.
This can be a gentle reminder for all of us to be more aware of
those around us and, as Paul said in Galatians 6:10 "do good to all
people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."
Remember the story
of Job where he lost everything? He lost his health, his family, his wealth. He
lost it all. At the end of the book, God gave it all back to Job. Why? Because
Job prayed for himself? No. The Bible says, "After Job prayed for his friends,
the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had
before" (Job 42:10).
There is great healing in remembering your friends amidst your
challenges.
