Shalom, and happy morning to you. If you are in a position to help someone who is in need, particularly someone who is a fellow Hebrew, or even a non-Hebrew who has been joined to us in heart and mind, then, by all means, help them. Too often many of us offer up excuses for not being able to help such a person when the means are readily available to us to help them. Those excuses arise from a place of selfishness, a quality that will be absent in the Kingdom, because the people who harbor that quality will be absent themselves.
Selflessness, meanwhile, is a quality that will be seen all throughout the Kingdom, for it will inhabit every soul who lives and breathes within its bounds. Each and every one of those souls will know that we who serve him are all one, being interconnected and tethered as one organism to Yah himself. This is the foundation to grasping the law and perfect principle, “love your neighbor as yourself,” for your neighbor—your brother or sister in spirit—is as much a part of you as your eye or your arm.
17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does Elohim’s love abide in him?
—1 John 3:17
