Have you ever felt out of place? I don’t mean just the uncomfortable feeling you get when you are underdressed for a church function. What I mean is, have you ever walked into a room and everyone looks at you like you are carrying some incurables diseases or they immediately think of you as a thief. People give you a wide berth and mothers pull their children away from you and you overhear them saying “don’t stare”?
In some instances, this is the reaction immigrants in your community receive when they visit local establishments, possibly including your church. Living overseas has caused me to be more sensitive to the lives of immigrants. After all, my family and I are immigrants to the country for which we serve.
Next time you see someone who does not look like you, speak like you, smell like you, dress like you, believe like you; please remember the biblical story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and cross the space between you and to offer your help or just your friendship.

v.25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
v.30 In reply Jesus said: “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 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.’
v. 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” (NIV, Luke 10:25-37)
