The Good Samaritan

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.
Luke 10:25-37

Willing to help others

Daily we have encounter homeless and displaced families. In some cases, these are our neighbors who should be loved and cared for. Nevertheless, it is safe to say we are not moved with compassion to heal their pain. 

I am aware it is impossible to aid and assist all however we can be Christ like and find an individual to lend a hand based on our abilities.


The Good Samaritan story is a powerful illustration of how people should meet the need of others. Jesus told the story of a man who was jumped and left for dead. The man traveled the road of Maale Addumin which was a noted location where thieves and robbers often attacked travelers. There were two men; a Priest who crossed the road when he saw the injured man and a Levite who dismissed the fact the man was in need of help. It was the Samaritan who went near and was moved with pity and kindness to bandage the man’s wounds.


When faced with danger and pit falls in life learn to remove bias opinions lend a helping hand to the  disenfranchised. Find it in your heart to live as scripture state: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind; and your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:25. 

Put aside prejudice thoughts and show love toward one another by sacrificing time, money and energy to heal the spiritual, physical. and emotional needs of others.


Be as the Good Samaritan show mercy to neighbors and friends.

If there is a need fill it
If there is a hurt heal it.
