Bible reading: Deuteronomy 10:12-22
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's book on hospitality as ministry, "Life Together," proposes a radical concept. By bringing others into our circle, we can deeply impact the lives of the lost. By reaching out we can see the spread of Christianity in our world. So many people are searching for connection. We are often alienated and strangers to people around us. I've found that Christians too often isolate or insulate themselves from the world around them. Our only friends tend to be other Christians.
Just think what could happen if we stopped ignoring all the lonely, poor, widowed, incarcerated, sick and sad people we encounter or hear of. If we started sharing what we have found in Christ. A true revolution would take place: a revival of unforeseen impact. So many are just an invitation away from rescue.
Who is lonely? Who is struggling? Who is an addict? Who is unlovable? Who needs help? Open your eyes and hearts to those around you. Share the Living Water with those who are thirsty.
God loves you so you can love others. Invite someone today to learn about Christ.
