VERSE:

VERSE: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some haveentertained angels unawares. -- Hebrews 13:2 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+13:2&translation=kjvTHOUGHT: How warmly do you personally welcome visitors at your church orin your Bible study group? When was the last time you invitedsomeone new in your congregation over for dinner or included themin a gathering of your Christian friends? While some have the giftof hospitality, all of us need to be warm and open to folks wedon't know who join us for Christian worship and fellowship. Whynot make a commitment to meet and welcome one new person at churcheach week. In a cold impersonal world, we can make a hugedifference in the lives of those seeking the shelter and grace ofJesus and his people.PRAYER: Father, please help me, and please help my congregation, to bemore open and welcoming to people who are new and who are visiting.Please use us to share your grace and provide them a Christianhome. In Jesus' name. Amen.
