{Scripture Challenge 2} Challenge Word #6, Neighbor

Challenge Word #6: Neighbor
Are you new to your neighborhood or do you know someone new that has moved in? Are you a neighbor that acts neighborly?

Do you even know your neighbors? Are you asking yourself as Jesus was asked in Luke 10:29 “. . . so he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’” Just who is your neighbor?I love how dictionary.com defines “neighbor.” It says “a person who lives near another; a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans.” Do you just think of your neighbor as someone who lives near you? We also should be looking at those around us everywhere as our “neighbors.

The two scriptures I used were:
”Mark 12:31 “The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Romans 15:2 “Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.”
