“We need to love our neighbors as ourselves…”

"We need to love our neighbors as ourselves, do to them as we would be done to. Receiving the good news of the kingdom will enable us to do that, for it obliterates scarcity and win-lose relationships. Then, in deed as well as in prayer we will seek their good as well as our own. A life of prayer shows us the way to what we need and harmonizes the desires of everyone in the group. Because we are living in the kingdom of the heavens, we are released from absorbing desires that would deflect us from what is really good. In may ways it is the life of prayer that discovers a space in which all can live." -Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy
