Love Your Neighbor As Yourself

I believe this is something that we are missing from our world today. "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:39) If more people would be happy when someone else succeeded in something, we'd all be happier people. We need to stop hating on each other, putting people's dreams down. God has made several promises to us in which we should cling to and believe. God promises to fulfill His purpose for us (Psalm 138:8), He promises to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11), He promises that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31), etc. What I'm trying to say here is, if we would love our neighbors as ourselves, we wouldn't be so quick to turn up our noses at them, to be mean and want to fight them, or to put them down when they're trying to do something good for themselves. More than anything else though, what I'm trying to say is trust and believe that what God has to say is the truth and you'll find your life is more fulfilled than you could ever imagine. God wants us to be happy within our marriages, he wants us to have successful careers, he wants us to have beautiful friendships, he wants us to have lives that we love. I think realizing that God has created us all with a purpose and that loving others will free you to live your life peacefully will release you to a life filled with blessings.
