Go and Do Likewise

Good Morning,
 
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." Luke 10:36–37

Good Samaritan living does not come naturally. We are afraid of rejection, of being robbed ourselves, of being taken advantage of.  Jesus also said that as the end nears, because of lawlessness,  "...the love of many will wax cold."  But intercession for those around will eventually result in reaching out to them in Christ's name.  It's not likely that they cannot resist genuine love forever.
Prayer:  "O Lord, help me to see people, people around me, as You see them. To pray for them. To reach out to them. To be a "Good Samaritan" to them. I can't do it myself, I've tried. Change me, for Christ's sake."
May the Lord Jesus bless and keep you today, and may you always know that you are loved!!!
