Neighborly as a Brother

Galatians 6:1-3

If a man be arrested in a fault for a law,
Being spiritual restore him from his flaw;
Put such a one right in the spirit of love,
And forgiveness from the Lord up above;
Keeping a watch for fear of being tested,
In being lured by what Satan has invested;
With another your problems please bear,
Such a relief as your burdens as you share;
In doing so a law of Christ as you fulfill,
Showing compassion to a neighbor to instill;
If a man tries to be someone and he is not,
He only deceives himself playing a big shot.
You owe it to yourself as well as to others,
To treat your neighbors as to be brothers;
Everyone has some time within their life,
As problems mount up and turn into strife;
Beware though of being lured into a trap,
Of Satan could be causing you a mishap;
Remain vigilant in everything that you do,
As to God and Christ always remain true.
