The Best Room
During a ministry trip years ago in Germany, I was dismayed to learn that we would be staying at a monastery. I pictured an austere place with no heart, cold stone floors, and hard beds. Instead I found a warm welcoming, comfortable room. My brother in Christ traveling with me, read that the monks believe in treating their guests as they would treat Christ. Though they don't live in such comfort themselves, they are content.
It may seem easier to welcome Christ into our heart than to open our life to others. Whether it's a room in our home or time in our schedule, too often we treat people as intruders rather than guests.
The apostle Paul wrote: "Above all things have fervent love for one another, for
(1 Peter 4:8-9)'love will cover a multitude of sins'
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling".
We honor Christ by giving Him the best room, our hearts, and by offering willing hospitality to others.
To know Love, open your heart to Jesus.
To show Love, open your heart to others.
