How To Entertain Unexpected Guests

 

Do not neglect

to show hospitality to strangers,

for thereby

some have entertained angels

                  unawares.

                    Hebrews 13. 2

(In the Greek, the word hospitality

      means to show love

     to those we don't even know

And entertaining means

  to receive and welcome a guest.

We invite others

           to the Father

    by how we love them.

It goes beyond being nice,

not even being mindful of others,

      but having the mind of Christ

in words, response, actions,

       and even in our attitudes.

Do we seek God's blessing,

     or how to bless Him today

     by blessing others?)

O LORD,

You have strategically placed us

     on this familiar path

     or undefined strange trail

to bring Your holy name,

      Your grace and love

to whomever we encounter today.

Help us to live differently

         and love differently

  in unlikely places

and among impossible people.

As we go into this day,

please help us to be watchful,

aware

        and responsive

to the visible and invisible needs

        all around us

   and how to love others to You.
