It is a joy whenever I help my neighbour. The joy that comes from the love of God. The joy of serving others, of loving others, the joy which is possible through a relationship with Jesus.
What is this joy about? Why is it that whenever I help my neighbour I feel joyful?
Whenever I help my neighbour, I am doing it to Jesus. This is what this joy is about… the joy of loving Jesus. It is true that at times it is not easy to love your neighbour, to help your neighbour. But when you do it for Jesus, it is possible, and that results in a joyful experience and a peaceful moment.
Oh, how I would love to see other people loving their neighbour. Oh, how I would love to see other people experiencing this joy. This joy is there for you too. It is a gift from God for you to discover, to live, to experience, to treasure and to share with others.
The joy of helping your neighbour is something to yearn for, it is the result of your love to Jesus. Jesus, who is waiting for you to share this Joy with you, loves you dearly.
Go, and love your neighbor.
Thank you George for sharing this very meaningful lesson with us!
I am George Calleja from Malta; I am married and have two children. In 2009 I obtained my MBA through the University of Leicester.
During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization – ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.
In November 2014 I published my first Christian Book ‘Peace and Unity in our lives – Volume One’, and have already published another 15 Books. While I hope that you find spiritual growth through reading my articles, I promise to keep you always in my prayers.

Very true. And in helping others we often help ourselves out of a problem or dilemma. It is so important to consider others before ourselves. Thank you for sharing your post.
Dear Diane
Thanks for your comment. It is really appreciated. Will keep you in my prayers. God Bless you.

I appreciate your prayers, George. I used to have a friend who was born in Malta, though I believe she was quite young when she came to Canada.
