Matthew 22:39 NKJV And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
People are important to God. Since people are important to God, then people should be important to us.
With this understanding, we should make it a point to contact people in some way. Daily, we should check on our friends or family members. We should have a genuine conversation with our colleagues to see how they’re doing. We should be a light to people we don’t know at the grocery store or the gym. During our interactions, we can pray for them, speak life over them, or help them.
The world and thoughts from the enemy tell us to distrust people and to protect ourselves by staying away from people. That’s not God’s way. How can we be vessels for God if we’re always alone or only focused on our immediate family? We should have boundaries, but we’re not called to be isolated.
To our flesh, this may be uncomfortable, but daily, we must deny what our flesh wants, and follow the ways of Christ.
