Neighborly Kindness
Irony. Yes, itâs ironic that those who need friends donât have them. The rich are generally surrounded by friends, but the poor often go without helpful relationships. Why? There are numerous reasons, but one is that it can be costly to be a friend of someone who is poor.
This verse says very bluntly that it is a sin to despise your neighbor by failing to help them. How can we be kind to the needy?
- We can offer a relationship to someone who is in need. Those in need are often without friends. We can go out of our way to help befriend someone who needs it most.
- We can refuse to despise our neighbor. The word âdespiseâ is often used in the sense of cheating someone, but the cheating doesnât have to be physical. It can also be emotional. Do we look down on our neighbors who are poorer than us as somehow less intelligent or less driven? That is also despising our neighbor.
Kindness to our neighbors can go a long way to sharing Godâs love with them. What can you do to show Godâs kindness and love to a needy neighbor today? According to Proverbs 14, you will be blessed!
