CHRISTIAN HOSPITALITY

Scripture:
   
When God's people are in need, be
ready to help them. Always be eager
to practice hospitality.
Romans 12:13, NLT

Reflection:   

Christian hospitality differs from social
entertaining. Entertaining focuses on
the host--the home must be spotless;
the food must be well prepared and
abundant; the host must appear relaxed
and good-natured. Hospitality, by contrast,
focuses on the guests. Their needs--whether
for a place to stay, nourishing food, a
listening ear, or acceptance--are the primary
concern. Hospitality can happen in a messy
home. It can happen around a dinner table
where the main dish is canned soup. It can
even happen while the host and the guest
are doing chores together.    

Don't hesitate to offer hospitality just
because you are too tired, too busy, or
not wealthy enough to entertain.
