I am a comic addict. I read comic almost daily. Recently, I read a comic depict story of a samurai in Japan. The background is around 17th century. After a national revolution, law is not fully enforced. People fight against each other for own benefits. The main character is a samurai who killed a lot of people during the revolution to build a new government. He decides not to kill a single people anymore, but to protect people around him. He risks his life to protect people. Time by time, he is pondered by his murder sin, but he is able to overcome and stand up to continue protect people around him.
Though it is just a comic. It really challenge me. Do I really love people around me? Do I understand, concern, comfort, encourage and love people around me? I do not know about you. Most of the time, I give myself excuse of busy working, short of time and tiredness. Obviously, it is not the right way.
(Galatians 5:14) The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbors as yourself.”
(1 Corinthians 13:4) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is nor easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

You are right, definitely so many time we are ignoring people around us or person that we love the most. Dont we?
Instead, we give many excuses that we are busy for life so that we will not suffer in poor in life, or we may have a 'abundance life". Is that true? (Pondering)
God gives us the strength, wisdom, courage to run our lives. Is that means we can use them to fulfill all our dreams and success just right in career sense?!! Firstly, started from the people who are around us and we can show our loves to them. Do we really care and love them by fulfilling them with money?!!
Somehow we are bias from God's perspective to men's perspective. We thought that the things we do are teh best for them. Like we response to God somewhat. Are we really think this is what they needed the most (time spend with them, love sharing..etc)?!!
We are not given them the best, but we are trying to interpret their needed from our own understanding. Dont you agree?:(
