In response to the command to love the neighbor, a lawyer asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Can’t blame him — we’d like to pick and choose whom we have to love, too.
Here is God’s answer: everyone. Yes, the person who lives next door is our neighbor. So is the family that lives twelves miles out of town, the elderly person in New York, and the teenager in Malawi…
There are natural boundaries everywhere: mountain ranges, rivers, oceans. As humans, we’re quick to construct even more boundaries: fences, state lines, national borders. Though boundaries have their places (literally), they often limit our interactions with neighbors. God’s LOVE knows no boundaries, and God expects our love to know no boundaries either.

"The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say, "What are you going through?"" ~Simone Weil, Christian mystic
