Charity begins at home
Hello amazing people @HiveReachoutCommunity! It’s great to be back this week. I’m @johndoy0.
Last week, we explored the beautiful topic of "The Healing Power of Love." We acknowledged that while love is sweet and admirable, it can become distasteful even to a child if the wrong people are involved. Through my research, I found that many marriages turn bitter not because love wasn't present initially, but because the continuous effort to nurture and maintain it was missing. We also observed that love heals faster than medicine, as an atmosphere filled with love can strengthen the weak.
This week, we're diving into another insightful topic: "Charity Begins at Home." Often, people show more love and kindness to strangers than to their own family members. This has puzzled me for a while, as I’ve experienced it firsthand. Things that wouldn’t bother me if done by an outsider can deeply hurt when done by a family member, leaving me with many questions.
The Bible teaches that love is the greatest virtue and instructs us to "love your neighbor as yourself," with our first neighbors being our family members. We often think of neighbors as those living next door or down the street, forgetting that our immediate family, with whom we live and share meals, are our first neighbors.
I remember when I was younger, we’d often leave chores at home undone but muster the energy to help others. If my mother or older sibling caught me, they would remind me that "charity begins at home." Although I didn’t fully understand it then, I do now.
"Charity begins at home" emphasizes that our first responsibility is to care for our family and close community before helping others. Ensuring the well-being of those closest to us lays the foundation for broader acts of kindness and generosity. You become truly relevant outside when you first become relevant at home. Any act of development, responsibility, or love should start with your immediate family.
Thank you for reading, and for stopping by my blog. See you next week! I’m still @johndoy0
