Neighbor? Do you really know who your neighbor is?The word "neighbor", which fairly accurately translates the Greek term plesion, imperfectly corresponds to the Hebrew word rea ', which is underlying the latter. It should not be confused with the word "brother", although it often corresponds to it. Etymologically it expresses the idea of associating with someone, of entering their company. The neighbor, contrary to the brother, with whom one is bound by the natural relationship, does not belong to the paternal house; if my brother is another me. my neighbor is other than me, another who for me can be really "other", but who can also become a brother. Thus, a bond can be created between two beings, already in a temporary way Lev 19,13.16.18, already in a durable and personal way, by virtue of friendship Dt 13,7 or love Jer 3,1.20 Cant 1,9.15 or of fellowship Job 30,29 Vocabulario bíblico: Prójimo - hjg.com.ar
Really interesting according to the Biblical dictionary says; It is not another me, but it is another me, just another who is not linked to your bloodline, just like that, creolely speaking, it is not my family, there is simply no reason to worry because it has nothing to do with my family circle. Sadly point very related to this time, when we see that our neighbor is going through the crisis of having to suffer the illness of his mother who could suffer shortly suspect his last breath of life and present himself before the presence of God and simply my attitude is indifferent, when it is really in moments like these when the most is needed from the other at least one word that is felt when saying, HERE I AM I COUNT WITH ME
Or how about in time of a pandemic like that of (COVID19) that plagues all of humanity where a protection protocol has been established and many simply refuse to comply with that protocol, such as not congregating, wearing a mask, gloves, wash your hands with soap and water, because I simply must create awareness that when one is infected, the other and others are infected, but it is easy to come to mind that I do not care about the other than me, that is not my family, no I do not care, it does not hurt, it does not affect me, and just as these examples I can illustrate many others, where families and children die every day not only from the COVID19 pandemic but from a worse pandemic that has remained much longer in this humanity without We obtained an antidote that could control or eradicate such evil as HUNGER and the inattention of millions and thousands of children worldwide.
You know that the heart of the person who reads these words today, these pandemics exist because of your hardness. Today I urge you heart to let yourself be sensitized by God, stop supporting that now, where you think or believe that you can get so hard, let God make you a NEW HEART today, a heart of flesh, a heart that cries on the other a heart that feels for the other. Today humanity cries out for hearts that feel and tell their neighbor. Here I am, you count on me !!!
You know that even though I don't know you, I love you because Christ I love you first, and it doesn't cost me anything to tell you because the essence of God lives in me who is his Holy Spirit and I live in him. John 14:20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. I don't know you but he does, he knows your needs, he knows your tears and your deserts, come to Christ, look for him and let him do a wonderful work in your heart and put in you a heart that LOVES, a heart that laughs , a heart that rejoices, a heart capable of reaching out to its neighbor and helping it to rise when it falls.
A heart that LOVES its neighbor as itself.
You know let me tell you this last thing your neighbor is not your brother, he is not the neighbor, he is not your partner, let me tell you this YOUR NEIGHBOR IS YOURSELF.
HEART LOVE YOURSELF
