[:en]Mart Dehaan told a story about an anthropologist who made up a game for some children. His idea was to create a race for a basket of fruit and candy that he placed near a tree. But when he gave the signal to run, no one made a dash for the finish line. Instead, the children joined hands and ran together to the tree.
When asked why they chose to run as a group rather than each racing for the prize, a little girl spoke up and said” “how could one of us be happy when all oth the others are sad?” Because these children cared about each other, they wanted all to share the basket of fruit and candy.
All of God’s laws can be summed up in one” “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Gal. 5:14; Rom. 13:9) Let us show love and care for others by responding to their needs.[:]
