How Jesus Changed EverythingSample

In school, when the teacher shuffled our seats, we didn’t choose who sat next to us. Sometimes it was a friend, sometimes not.

Life is still like that. We don’t get to choose who our neighbors are. Our neighbors include coworkers, acquaintances, even people we don't like.

Jesus calls us to love not just the easy ones, but whoever is placed in our path. That’s hard. But it’s also how the love of God is made visible in this world.

Who is your “neighbor” right now? Ask God for one tangible way to love them today.

Prayer:

God, help me to love the people you’ve placed in my life, even when it’s hard. Open my eyes to opportunities to show your kindness and grace today. Amen.
