Rediscovering the Art of Neighbouring - Part 2

How can we love our next door neighbour if we don’t even know them?

Do we live at a pace that allows us to be available to those who live around us?

When we say; “I don’t have time to get to know my neighbor,” what we are really saying is,

“I don’t consider getting to know my neighbor as important as everything else that I do.”

Let's rediscover our neighbourhood not as an object of outreach programs or social service good deeds but as the real, flesh and bone place were God takes up residence and meets us all.

Neighbouring is a marathon not a sprint.

We move from living as strangers, to having neighbourhood acquaintances to then to enjoying real relationships with those we live next to.

Love is spelled, 'time.'

Matthew 22;36-39
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’"
