Who Is Your Neighbor?

I love watching how Rachel and Adrian love each other.

Have you ever been to wedding showers or other events that say write a note of advice to the bride and groom?  My response always says-

Love God more than you love spouse OR yourself.

Did you know that these verses are about marriage?

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Mark 12:29-31

Who is our closest neighbor? Our husband. He shares every part of our lives, yet we have to be reminded how to love him.

"And so train the younger women to love their husbands..." Titus 2:4

We are so busy with loving ourselves, our children, the world and all of its trappings that we forget to love the one whom God has given us - our closest neighbor.
