Mr. Hospitality

Hebrews 13:1-2  1Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.13:1 Greek Continue in brotherly love. 2Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! 

I am sure no one has every referred to me as MR. HOSPITALITY. Maybe it's just me but I think the art of Hospitality is quickly becoming a lost art. We've never really opened our home to visitors. I am not really sure why. Now that we are downsizing and moving into a "tiny home", I am not sure that will change. 

Opening up your home is just one way to show hospitality to others. The key is in verse one. "Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters." We need to constantly be on the look out for way of treating others with great love and kindness. That is true hospitality. You don't have to open your home to strangers, although this is the ultimate example of hospitality. You should always look for ways to help strangers. You need to LOOK or opportunities to show the love of Jesus to those that don't even know you. As we travel over these next several years, traveling from campground to campground, we need to be on the lookout to use our blessings for the Lord, even more than we have done in the past. 

Dear Lord, You have not put me on this earth for my own purposes or for my own glory. You have put me here to serve others. You have put me here to bring glory to your kingdom. Forgive me for not showing YOUR LOVE to others. In order to bring others to you, they need to see YOUR LOVE in me. I need to follow your example in treating others with mercy, grace, and compassion. Help me to love my neighbor as myself. Use me today for YOUR PURPOSES, not my own. Amen!
