Man Vows To Show Love Of Christ To His Neighbors If He Ever Accidentally Makes Eye Contact
Brought to you by
AMARILLO, TX—After reading Christ’s command to love his neighbor as himself Wednesday morning, local Christian Mark Kaylor felt convicted, since he hadn’t made a concerted effort to do this.
So Kaylor made a vow right then and there: he would show the love of Christ to his neighbors on the off-chance that they ever accidentally make eye contact.
“If I’m mowing the lawn and the neighbor looks up at me and my gaze happens to connect with his, entirely by accident, I will attempt to show him the love of Jesus,” he told reporters of his great spiritual commitment later. “I’ll connect with him, get to know him, maybe even learn his name. Then I’ll start finding practical ways to show him the love that God showed us through Jesus on the cross.”
“Hopefully it won’t come to that, though,” he added as he peered out his blinds.
Before Kaylor goes out to get the mail, he always looks out the window and checks his security cameras to make sure his neighbors aren’t out. He mows the lawn and trims the hedges at two in the morning every week so that he might avoid any contact with his neighbors, who desperately need the love of Jesus.
“I’m confident if Jesus wants them to be reached, he’ll put someone in their lives,” he said. “Either he’ll send someone else, or he’ll divinely ordain things so that we will accidentally make contact at some point in the future. Though I’m doing my best to make sure that never happens.”
At publishing time, the man had dove into some bushes when one of his neighbors walked up to introduce herself.
12 Neighbors is a 7-part film series that asks, “what does it really mean to love your neighbor?”. In episode 4, Father G says, “I don’t transform anybody, but transformation happens here.” Watch how ex-gang members are being transformed in L.A. here, or watch all the films now.
