An Angel?

Good Morning,

Hebrews 13:2 (NIV)
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

I'm sending this along today as a reminder...a reminder as it was to me, as well...that we really do need to be a bit more hospitable to people.

How many of you are like me in just pretty much ignoring some of those "door to door" types when they come knocking? I'll admit it here, sometimes I'm downright rude about it. I guess it's in my genes, but I really don't like folks knocking on my door to try to sell me something. That, my friends...my rudeness and the way I treat some of these folks...is sinful.

The writer of Hebrews relates to us a fact that we probably most often do not remember. There are times when that "door to door" type MIGHT just be sent from God. He or she MIGHT actually be an angel. Or, just as importantly...(maybe more importantly?)...it MIGHT just be a person who needs to see and feel and know the love of Jesus Christ. Even if just for a moment.

Point here today is that we don't know who it really is knocking on our doors or the real reason that person is there. So, should we just take a chance and ignore that person, close the door, and forget about it? Or, probably a better idea, maybe actually speak to the person there, determine who it is and why he or she is there, and then make a determination as to how we should handle the situation? Yes, it will take a few more minutes of time, but it might just be some extremely well spent time.

Something to think about, huh?

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
