christian

So my girlfriend’s friend got in a car accident, and I was asked by others as well as me asking myself, “why are you going to the hospital? You do not know him.” And I had to stop and think about why it is so hard to conceive about caring for someone you do not know. The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was not a matter of if I should, it was more of a matter of it being the way of a christian. Caring about the well being of a person we do not know, is a very fundamental element of being a christian. To reach out to help someone who you know little or nothing about. I was shocked at why, when put in that perspective, why people including myself found helping, to be out of place. I think it has something to do with this world constantly keeping to themselves. I have even caught myself saying “I dont care what they do as long as it does not affect me.” To some extent I see this as just a way of evading change.
