Hospitality

Here’s a suggestion: We should all wear antennas to work, to church, to school-antennas that pick up on people who seem out of place, whose loneliness shows. Why not be the one to approach these folks and extend friendship to them? Maybe you think the last thing you need is another friend. But friendliness-hospitality-is a virtue that brings as much joy to the giver as to the receiver. When you extend hospitality to others, you’re not trying to impress people, you’re trying to reflect God to them. You don’t have to be rich to be hospitable. A wise friend once told me, ”If you won’t give people hot dogs when you’re poor, you won’t give them steaks when you’re rich. ”We shouldn’t let our pride get in the way of being hospitable. We are here on earth to be God’s people. We are here to show others the same God who came to be a friend to the earth-that’s our task. Maybe today you will meet someone who really needs a friend-and you can fill that need. Maybe you can make an eternal difference in that person’s life, just because you choose to be friendly today.

Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Romans 12:13
