Have you ever said something you wish you never said? How about something someone else said? I know for we reading the words of Jesus, I have found a few things I kinda wish Jesus never said. Like why did Jesus say we have to love our neighbor as ourself. Why not just love your neighbor? That doesn’t require any action. I could just love without doing anything. Love from a distance. But true really take his words seriously and love our neighbor as ourself means that we can’t just sit still while 30,000 people die because of malnutrition everyday. Especially when I have enough food to fill up 5 grocery bags. The truth is, if we are going to live out the truths and principles God has given us, we can’t just love from a distance. This love requires action.

I like how you connect loving yourself with all the food you consumed. It really makes love practical in terms of how we can extend that love to others around us (who don’t have).
