Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. 2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! (New Living Translation).

Just a further thought on the subject of hospitality.

If you come across people who have the gift of hospitality, you might be over-awed and conclude that you should leave this stuff to those who are better equipped. But as I understand the Bible, it seems to me that all Christians are called to be hospitable whether or not they have the hospitality gift.

I remember hearing a friend lead a Bible Study on Romans 12. Ironically he and his wife had this gift to a marked degree. But speaking about verse 13b: ”Practice hospitality”, he encouraged everyone by saying, ‘You don’t necessarily have to provide a slap-up meal. It can be a cup of tea and a piece of cake. Just open your home and welcome people in.’ I believe that is the gist of what he said.

It may indeed be that uncomplicated.

Amazing things can happen when we open our doors to others, along with our hearts. But I think the opening of the heart comes first?
