do this and you will live

... and love your neighbor as you love yourself
... and love your neighbor as well as you do yourself
... and your neighbor as yourself

driving out of the grocery parking lot today, these words came to mind. i said them out loud 3-4 times.... love your neighbor as you love yourself. love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

what does it mean, truly.... what does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself? and i am even more desperate- more eager- longing to see, to experience, to show what it means.

to care for someone else just as i care for myself. just as i want to be cared for.

do this and you will live. powerful words backed with promise and truth.
