"When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God." Lev. 19: 33-34 (NASB)
Have you ever encountered a stranger? Did you ever hang out with some you normally do not? How do you treat those kind of people? I think this command from God himself is pretty clear. When someone comes into your "land" or how about sits at your table at lunch, or sits beside you in class, do you treat them as family? Do you love them as yourself? This isn't some profound idea, or a new a revelation, but another challenge. The next time you encounter a "stranger in your land" treat them the way God has commanded. Treat them as one of your own and just wait to see how they react.
