John 11:35 Jesus Wept.

As a believer I’m required to love my brother as myself. Well, this is easier said than done. When I deal with people sometimes, I feel that they are not that lovable. Some people seem to do not care about other people or their feelings. They say things that rub me the wrong way and I don’t agree with the way they act sometimes. So how can I love them the way I love myself? Well as a parent I have children and I have to admit that while raising them sometimes they seem to not care about other people feelings. They said things that rubbed me the wrong way and made me mad with the way they acted sometimes. But I love them. When they hurt I hurt. I guess this is one of the reasons Jesus wants us to love our neighbor as ourselves because we are all his children and when we hurt, he hurts. When Jesus saw how hurt Martha was over the passing of her brother Lazarus he cried.

My prayer is that GOD continue to help me to understand that I should Love my neighbors because we are all yours. That I am a part of what you created and everything and everybody belongs to you. Amen.
