The list says:
- Call who calls you
- Visit who visits you
- Greet who greets you
- Ignore who ignores you
- Care who cares for you
It sounds fair, balanced, and logical. But the walk of faith isn’t about logic — it’s about love, grace, and discernment.
Philippians 2:3–4 reminds us to “esteem others above ourselves” and to “look to the interests of others.”
We’re called to act from compassion, not comparison — to love even when it’s not returned.
That doesn’t mean being naïve or endlessly self-sacrificing. The Word also tells us to “guard our hearts” (Proverbs 4:23) and to “discern good from evil” (Hebrews 5:14).
There’s a holy balance between grace and boundaries.
So call who’s on your heart, even if they haven’t called in a while.
Check in on who goes quiet — sometimes silence hides pain.
Correct gently when needed (Galatians 6:1), and if the season calls for distance, do so without resentment.
Because in the end, we’re not called to mirror others — we’re called to mirror Christ.
And that means loving beyond what’s deserved, yet walking wisely where love isn’t received.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21
