I used to feel guilty about Christ’s command to love my neighbors, because I didn’t even even know most of the people living around me. I argued with God, “I don’t have time to make new friends! Besides, won’t they think I’m a freak? And I’m not sure if You’ve seen Pinterest from up there in heaven, but there’s a lot of pressure to make my house look perfect.” I was scared!
