True Benevolence

What does true benevolence mean?
I wondered as i read from one of the books of my favorite author. And as i read, I asked my self, what does Christ require of us as His children concerning our relations with our neighbors, our brothers and sisters in Christ.
As i scrolled down further to read, i was over whelmed by how much we tend to be self centered as human beings especially as God's children, His representatives. Looking very well at the conduct of the priest and the levite in the parable that Jesus told about the good samaritan. During my short stay here, i have learnt and am learing so many things about human relations and how to relate with our fellow brothers, strangers and others that we will cross paths with and i must admit that it has taught me and is teaching me some grande lessons.

Being like Jesus en tells that i have to fellow His example and teachings from His word and that includes not only preaching, healing and baptizing but accepting people the way the are. I thought i had this ability until i came here, so far away from home and interacted with different people from all walks and corners of the world. with different cultures and personalities.
While i embrace and respect everyone's culture, Jesus calls me to stand up and stand out for Him,to represent Him as his servant and friend, and oh what a privilege it is to be part of this experience. But one thing i have discovered is that i will do so day by day as I wholly and totally depend on Him. My friend and Savior, Jesus Christ.
