Grace in Return

"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? . . .' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me - you did it to me.'" Matthew 25:37-40

If Christ were sitting on our doorstep, lonely and tired and hungry, what would we do? We like to think we would throw the door wide open and welcome Him into our home. But the truth is we're given the opportunity to offer our hospitality to Jesus each time we're faced with a person in need. His grace reaches out to us through those who feel misunderstood and overlooked, and He wants us to offer that same grace back in return.

Dear Lord, You call us to reach out in practical, tangible ways to everyone. Help me to seek a way to do this every day. In Your Name, Amen.

Have a great Thursday
Blessings,
