Where is your Neighbor? Maybe closer, than you can think. Look around. Go and do what you have been sent to do.

The omission of aid is a crime for the law in many countries of the world. We need that compassion that God tested for the Jews in Egypt.

God saw the sons of Israel, and God took notice and was concerned about them .
Exodus 2:25

Jesus wrote compassion, when he got out of the boat and saw the crowd, Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all diseases. Seeing the crowd, he had compassion for them, as they were tired and exhausted like sheep without a shepherd.

When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion and pity for them, because they were dispirited and distressed, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36

Jesus who saw those two blind, had compassion and healed them ...

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, screaming loudly, “Have mercy and compassion on us, [a]Son of David (Messiah)!” When He went into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesussternly warned them: “See that no one knows this!”
Matthew 9: 27-30

Jesus seeing the widow of Naín ...

And it came to pass [a]soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Luke 7: 11-15

We explain ourselves about compassion and love of neighbor in a story that is immortalized as the good Samaritan.

If we are weak and ineffective at work, it is because we are weak in "compassion".

Holiness is not such without love. Christians are nothing without charity.

It is surprising that an ignorant Samaritan knows how to act more Christian than a religious scholar.

But we will not be judged by God for the doctrine, but for the life we ​​have lived.

and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
Ephesians 5: 2

Walk in love ... and we know that "walking" is understood in the sense of practicing, living.

Love is a choice, it is more than just a feeling, It means that I choose who and how to love And not only if I want to do it. That is why the will is involved and that means acting.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
1 John 3:18

The greatest mystification of Christianity is to say that we are Christians, but love people, that is, our neighbor. The method of God to teach us love is to put it on our page, in the difficult and strange, rude, insensitive way and then God says:

The love of God, in particular I want to love what God loves ...

People who do not have to love are those who do not know how to love, have thoughts of affection towards each person.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
Ephesians 3: 17-18

This is possible if we do not focus on the defects but on the needs, because love covers a multitude of sins. We do not look at the quality of people (rich, kind, deserving ...) but we always have oil, wine and bandages to wrap and treat wounds ...

He must act, work towards everyone with love. It does not matter what you "hear". If you act and walk in love, God will change your feelings. You are not hypocritical if you act without "feeling" it, but you are hypocritical if you say that you are a Christian and do not love ...

This leads us to be an instrument in the hands of God always available to others.

Love, love, love your neighbor

loving your neighbor is not just about getting along with others, avoiding conflicts or not wishing others harm, because many people every day show gestures and signs of compassion, even if possible use their resources to help and benefit the most needs to. It's not that it's wrong, but what does that help contribute to the spread of the gospel? Does giving bread to the needy cause it to be born again? Do you wish the best to others, make them children of God?
In no way, you can look good as a person and maybe even receive a Nobel Peace Prize, but understand that if you do not preach the truth, that neighbor with a house or without a house, with a car or without a car, with food or with Health, sadly will be lost because "The works do not save him or you".

You have many reasons, what I wanted to emphasize is that love of neighbor is a commandment that through him we also influence people to take them to the feet of Christ. you are an example of this, you help a group of children and people, some are too young to understand that God exists because they can not physically see you, but when they grow up they will remember a group of people led by a woman, who gave Him to eat and go back and eat. They will realize and say: there really is a God!
