'Love the Lord your God with all your heart..~Jesus

"Do this and you will live."~Jesus

Have you ever asked for help and nobody respond?  If I have developed a flat tire on the side of the road and have no jack, I will ask for help.  If the help is asked of a stranger, it is no big deal when he refuses.  I did not expect anything different.  If I ask for a jack from a family member and I get nothing, I am hurt.  The only difference was expectations.

Who is your family...?

"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

 ³⁷ The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." 

Consider this: Could it be organized religion is what left the man half dead and dieing on the side of the road.  He asks for help and no one listens until the one who has little helps the most.  There is hope for us all.
