What should we do when we meet a STRANGER?

We are called to be hospitable! Besides, you NEVER know who you’ll run into. Matthew 10:42 reminds us about how every cold cup of water given reaps Heavenly rewards. Hospitality could lead you to angels, Heavenly rewards, and even allow you to bring someone new into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do you think you’ve encountered an angel before?

As an aside, please don’t get into dangerous situations with a stranger. A smile may go a long way in some situations!

... Read moreWhen we meet a stranger, it opens the door to endless possibilities and connections. The Bible instructs us on the value of hospitality, urging us to welcome those we meet with a generous spirit. Genuine friendliness can create lasting impressions and potentially lead to deeper relationships. Recognizing that every encounter is unique, listeners are encouraged to maintain a balance between openness and safety. It’s essential to approach strangers with kindness while also being mindful of personal safety. A warm smile and a friendly greeting can facilitate meaningful engagements, reminding us of the potential hidden in every individual. Engaging with others can also be a source of inspiration, as many of us have stories that resonate with shared experiences. Stranger encounters can also prompt reflections on personal beliefs and societal norms. Questions about whether we've ever encountered 'angels' in our lives surface, inviting readers to think about the divine presence they feel influences their daily interactions. Moreover, engaging with topics like kindness, humanity, and spirituality can inspire greater awareness of our roles in the community. Each meeting is an opportunity; therefore, let’s embrace the chance to share kindness and potentially transform someone's day.

When I was grocery shopping an older gentleman approached me and explained the importance of prayer, I'll never forget that! That conversation was confirmation of the steps God wanted me to take. God is good!! He won't leave us to guess or rack our brains, He guides us, we have to listen
