Biblical Answer

Love is a selfless act, and it's essential to show love to those around us without expecting anything in return. To achieve this, we must be willing to make sacrifices and put others' needs before our own. One way to do this is by openly confessing our errors to others and demonstrating our commitment to live differently. This shows that we value their relationship and are willing to make amends when we've wronged them.

Another approach is to change our habits of indifference or busyness. We often take each other for granted, and it's crucial to make an effort to reach out and touch one another with affection. This can be done by simply being present with others, listening to them, and showing physical affection like hugs and kisses. It's also essential to create opportunities for focused attention, such as planning walks, sitting together, or going on scenic drives. These small gestures can go a long way in showing love and care for those around us.

Ultimately, showing love to strangers requires a different kind of sacrifice. It involves being hospitable to those we don't know well, and it's not always easy. However, this type of love is essential for building relationships and demonstrating the love of Christ. By being willing to put others' needs before our own, we can show love to those around us without expecting anything in return. As Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). This commandment is at the heart of showing love to others, and it requires us to be willing to make sacrifices and put others' needs before our own. By doing so, we can demonstrate the love of Christ to those around us and bring glory to God.
