Hebrews 13:2 (NIV)
2 Do not forget to show hospitality to
strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels
without knowing it.
What do you do to welcome new neighbors into your
neighborhood or apartment complex? How warmly do you personally welcome
visitors at your church or in your Bible study group? When was the last time
you invited someone new in your congregation over for dinner or included them
in a gathering of your Christian friends? While some have the gift of
hospitality, all of us need to be warm and open to folks we don't know that
join us for Christian worship and fellowship. Why not make a commitment to meet
and welcome one new person at church each week. In a cold impersonal world, we
can make a huge difference in the lives of those seeking the shelter and grace
of Jesus and his people.
Thought for today:
Am I inviting?
