Knowing Your Neighbors And Proverbs 27:10

       Do we truly know our neighbors? Today, people tend to rush off to work and many don't even know their neighbor's name. I find that quite sad. 'Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father, and do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you- better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.' Proverbs 27:10. We can't rely solely on family to comfort us. This is why we should seek out people and kindle friendships so that we are not alone. How great would it be if we were so close to our neighbors that we considered them family? I acknowledge that I should get to know my neighbors better. In fact, I would love to. I know enough about my neighbors to know that they are Christians and I've talked to them before. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have neighbors who care and encourage me through scripture. It honestly makes me want to be there for them when they are in need. Most of us are friends with our co workers and yet we barely even know our neighbors! This was the lesson in my devotional today and I think it's a great idea to get to know our neighbors. The bible does say to love your neighbor. Are we truly following that command? A lot of us tend to avoid neighbors in today's society.  Whether we like it or not, we are a community and we should be friendly and loving to each other. I think this is a great lesson for anyone. I am going to pray on this and devote some of my time to getting to know my neighbors
