Love Thy Neighbor Week 1- 11.1.23

Hey J-Fam!

In our new series, "Love Thy Neighbor," we delved into scriptures that spoke to our hearts: Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 22:34-40, Mark 12:28-34, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:13-15, and James 2:8-10. These passages reminded us of the importance of loving others as ourselves.

We had an insightful discussion on the blocks that hinder our path to loving our neighbors fully. We discovered that self-care and acceptance are crucial in order to have the capacity to love others. As we journey towards healing, we also explored the importance of releasing the hurts caused to our loved ones. Remember, the person who hurt your loved one is also your neighbor. Let's choose patience and extend grace towards them. 

As we dive deeper into self-love, let's reflect on its true meaning in our own lives. Are we practicing self-love? Are there any neighbors we struggle to love? It's time to surrender them to God and seek repentance. Together, let's become better neighbors by making a plan and putting it into action in the coming week. 

Be encouraged, J-Fam! By embracing self-love, extending grace, and surrendering to God, we can become beacons of love and compassion in our communities. Let's support one another on this transformative journey of love and make a positive impact on those around us.
