Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews, Chapter 13, verses 1-2.
After reading forwarded emails telling how people’s
lives have been changed by reaching out to someone less fortunate, I am more
reflective about my lack of action. When
approached by the needy, I have to admit my response has not always been of
Christian love to my fellow human beings.
This definitely is something I need to work on, being mindful about how
I would feel if people ignored and rejected me.
I only hope God continues to be patient with me and brings me to the
level of brotherly love that He wants us all to show to each other.
