Hospitality

Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. ~ Leviticus 19:34

John wrote: Dear friend, you have always been faithful in helping other followers of the Lord, even the ones you didn’t know before. They have told the church about your love. They say you were good enough to welcome them and to send them on their mission in a way that God’s servants deserve. ~ 3 John 5-6 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
God is into extreme hospitality.
PRAYER:
God, you have been extremely welcoming of us even though we are unworthy of your attention. You hospitality is totally undeserved. I, on the other hand, have tried to create a system where only those who have proven their worth can receive my approval. Please recalibrate my life so that grace defines what I do and how I think. I am going to welcome strangers into my life -- even those who will not be able to pay me back. Amen.
