Arthur T. Gerald, my pastor at Twelfth Baptist Church in Roxbury, MA, says the saints must get back to “radical hospitality”. Showing hospitality means to welcome, host and entertain guests. But the “
spiritual art” of hospitality is found in the way our welcoming actions put a person at ease. Showing more regard for your fellowperson than yourself, expressing goodwill and kindness, displaying liberality – those things make hospitality what it is. Perhaps you can buy coffee for your co-worker, help them with their work, perform acts of kindness to your family or friends today. What will you do to share and be hospitable today?…
O Lord God, help me to extend myself more than I would usually do today. Reveal to me the moments in which I can be hospitable to someone, so that I can go the extra mile in showing kindness. In Jesus name, AMEN
