God designed us to take care of each other. What a beautiful and safe design!

Take a moment to praise God for the people who have cared for you.

The story of the Good Samaritan challenges us to identify the sins and obstacles in our lives that keep us from caring for others. Is it prejudice? Selfishness? Apathy? Self-pity? Distraction? Fear? Busyness?

Allow the Spirit of God to convict you in any of these areas. “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23–24).

In Christ, you have everything you need to love your neighbor as yourself. Your neighbors are not strangers to God. Your path is not by accident. Be the Good Samaritan to the strangers in your path today and every day.

What is keeping you from caring for others and loving your neighbor as yourself?

How can you practically be the good Samaritan to your neighbors every day?
