Matthew 10:8 - Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out the demons; freely you received, freely give.
We have freely received grace, love, joy, and hope from God - we must let that flow through us to others. We must be a channel/instrument of God's peace. God's peace enfolds love, pardon, faith, light, hope and joy. We are asked to always look for ways to help those we meet in our day to day lives. This is not easy, or he wouldn't have to mention it!
We are busy, afraid, judgmental, selfish, proud, hateful or any of a host of things. We tell ourselves that so that we do not have to bear the cost of being a neighbor. Lord, help me to see where I can be neighborly today and everyday.
