** Has been given to us by the Lord God Almighty:
{There is none better than this to guide your decisions}
Here it is given in Luke 10:27
Luke 10:25-37 (New International Version)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
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?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 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’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] 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.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
***27 He {Jesus} 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’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”

** If you do not get anything else out of this post, at least take this into your heart and understanding!
Read and study Luke 10:25-37 & ponder it in your heart!
We can and will discuss many there facets of the Divine System of the Universe further as we progress in this discussion! Because the more you learn, accept and use in your existence; the better your Eternal Future becomes!
Most people have not given much if any thought to this passage and thus have slid into the evil constraints of this fallen world! Like it or not! SO here is your chance!
If you stop and look at the main cause of all human grief, it stems from selfishness and greed! With no real desires to help or care for those whom have been placed upon your pathway of life!
Stop and think, have you done anything for those whom God has placed on your pathway? You alone know this answer! It is really a shame for many of us...
BTW: We all have fallen short:
" for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,"
Romans 3:23 Yes, everyone of us!
But now that you know what the proper action is are you going to start to be the person God called you to be?
So where to now?
Once you can come to see that God has placed guardrails along our pathway of life; to help us stay out of the ditch; things will and can get much better! This is the road less traveled, but it is the one that leads to a far better place!
***
Back to how I learned to live... We were told and encouraged to live a moral life, respect others, Love God and be a real " Good Samaritan " ... {There is more}
If you can ever get hold of the idea that learning; then doing what you know is right, most of the crap and evil things in life will not be a major factor in your life!
Example:
Dope - Once I learned that it was a negative and degrading thing, which ruined people's lives... I have never used or had any desire to indulge with it, therefore when faced with the temptation I had already made the decision to not want or use Dope! Easy!
This is the same with most many other things in your life!
*** This does not mean that I was totally holy and sin free, no just that when faced with most of these sins I could evade them by prior decisions! Yes, I have done things which I will stand accountable for at the Judgment Bar of Christ in the last day!
Maybe this will help save you a lot of grief and anguish!
