I would like to share what I’ve shared to the youth.
I am assigned for the word of God. So I would like to share this one. ^.^
According to 1 Peter 4:9
“Offer hospitality to each other without grumbling.
There’s one experienced that I went thru that I would like to share. I have had a friend from the past that every time we will fight about small things we usually tease each other by our physical appearance since I was in grade school And being so young and “maldita” I would throw a big tease on her and vice versa. The rival stops when my parents decided to move in other place. But we were still on the fight that time. Years gone by and until we saw each other again, back then when I was still education student. She decided to enter my Organization, and when she passed my Organizations audition. I have no choice but to welcome her as one of the member. At the back of my mind I was like “ yih!!!! Bakit?” But at the end I finally accepted her as sis, since we treat our members as a family.

Let’s be honest, hospitality is very big task for us. It involves sacrifice. Doing the things that you don’t want to do make us so sick! Haha
But we have to do it WITHOUT COMPLAINING.
It’s because we represent GOD.
God loved us when we were so unlovely, so we have to love people who are unlovable in our sight. Picture that.
Paul said in Romans 12:31 “Share with God’s people who are in need, practice hospitality.”
It’s so easy for us to show hospitality to the people we know. But Jesus said in Matthew 5:46 “ if you love the people who love you, everybody can do that”
It’s like sharing the love that comes from God. We should pass it to everyone.
4 pointers to practice hospitality.
1.Forget your old self. “I’m not approachable.” , “She’s/he’s not my type.” ,” I am shy.” If God changed you, you will no longer say these things. If anyone is in Christ the new has come the old has gone.
Before I was a big snob to everyone, but when I came to know GOD and felt his presence I became friendly, I am claiming this gift , I can start a conversation in all kinds of people, and in any ages.
2. Share it to everyone. – Meaning you have to show care to the people you hate, the people you seem you can’t be with. That’s a big challenge but if God is with you, it’s easy.
3. MOVE! Prayer without work is useless. You have to take the risk. This just like a dream or your goal, if you want to be successful in life you have to do something. MOVE.
4. ACTION- Act like there’s no time wasted. Make them feel that they are welcome and make them feel that they are loved. Apply 1,2,3 . make them feel that they afford you brotherly love.
And remember: WE REPRESENT GOD.
Sharing is nice!
