All of the items in the list above are related to the second great command to love my neighbor. A list like this is helpful because it reminds me that to love my neighbor, I have to get to know him and know what is going on in his life.

But one of the struggles that I have with such people is that sometimes truth is given in a way that is hardly helpful.
