Hi friends, this is Strong & Courageous.

Jesus said one of the greatest commands is this: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Mark 12:31

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

That sounds simple—but it’s actually challenging.

Loving your neighbor doesn’t just mean your best friend. It means the kid who annoys you. The person who’s different from you. The one who’s hard to love.

Loving others the way you want to be loved means showing kindness, forgiveness, and grace—even when it’s not returned.

Jesus loved people who were rejected. He loved people who didn’t deserve it. And He asks us to do the same.

Today, ask yourself:

If I were in their place, how would I want to be treated?

Let’s pray together:

Jesus, help me love others the way You love me. Give me a kind heart and courageous faith. Amen.
