Default Re: Brotherly Love the Source of Oneness?

This came from the second of three articles:

"Of course lack of brotherly love is not always so extreme. More often it is displayed through simple neglect. Do we know when our brother or sister is in need of a cup of water? Do we ever visit to find out? If we know, do we do anything about it? Too often the Lord is stopped from answering our prayers for others because He is unable to send us to do the work. Our coldness to one another blinds us from seeing the need or heeding the Lord’s call."

It's far more easier to love those who share our concepts than to love those who are contrary to our concepts.
I've expereinced the best way to show love is to appear at a doorstep. That has more effect on a person than what an email or phone call will do. My experience was a group (one brother and two sisters with whom my family now meets with) knocked at my door. Having them thinking of my family enough to show at my home translates into care and brotherly love.
