"A Samaritan, traveling, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him, bandaged his wounds, poured oil and wine on them, put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him."

Luke 10:33–34

Acting with compassion and practical care is an example of love for our neighbor.
