“Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay,
Thy Word our Law, Thy paths our chosen way”.
But just how do we get along with others? St. James has this word for us,“my children, our love should not be words and talk; it must be true love which shows itself in action.” James 3,18,
One time a lawyer challenged Jesus with the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Luke 10,29. And Jesus told him the story of the traveler who was beaten, robbed, and left wounded in the roadside. Then he ended the story with this” “You go and do likewise.” Luke 10,37.
So our answer is really, “it depends on the circumstance” as to how we treat our neighbor. It really depends what the needs are and what our loving, caring response ought to be.
So, may the Lord teach us, and we obey, “thy paths our chosen way”, and the Lord will add His blessing to our action.
