Loving Our Neighbors – Quote – Frederick Buechner

September 13, 2014 By Jean Wise

Loving our neighbors – What does this mean?

If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors.

With our imagination as well as our eyes,

that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces

but the life behind and within their faces.

Here it is love that is the frame we see them in.

-Frederick Buechner
