From “Loving My Neighbor” (which is built on the parable of the Good Samaritan):
• “We call it a sin for one to do another an injury; but we are not so likely to call it a sin when one fails to show another, suffering or in need, a kindness which it is in his power to render.”
• “Forbearing to help when it is in our power to help is a sin of which God takes note.”
• “The test of life is loving.”
• “The only proof that we have the love of God in our hearts is our love to our fellow-men.”
• “Sometimes love’s duties are crowded out by other seeming duties.”
• “We shall be judged, not only by what we do, but quite as much by what we leave undone.”
• “Some people are willing to pay for the care of those who are in distress, but are not willing to take any trouble themselves. Money does good service in many cases, but the love which is illustrated in our Lord’s parable gives more than money; it ministers with its own hands; it gives human sympathy and personal attention.”
• “We add greatly to the value of whatever we do for others if we give part of ourselves in and with our serving.”
• “We represent God in this world and we are to help as he helps, never niggardly, but always generously and abundantly.”

Thank you so much for taking time to read and comment. Please forgive the way some of these comments are posted...in moving them from my original blog, I had to copy and paste them to keep them on the posts, so they look like they are from me, while they are not :-). I welcome your comments on my thoughts and poems and thanks again for taking time to read. God bless your day with His presence.
