How simple our Lord's word is, Love thy neighbor. Just think how that word has been twisted around, just because it's hard to love thy neighbor.

About This Quote

The Bible says "How simple our Lord's word is, Love thy neighbor." How simple? The commands to love and help your brother and sister sound simple, don't they? But think of the kind of twisted logic that has gotten into the world because of this. "Love thy neighbor" means to look after your neighbors. But what happens when someone doesn't want you to look after them? What if they don't want you to love them and be near them? What if they don't want you to do anything for them or try to help them at all? Then, the commandment becomes impossible to obey. That's how twisted it can get!
