. Do we receive them into the family of God, or ignore them?
Romans 15:7
Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
. Do we edify them, or put stumbling blocks in their way?
Romans 14:19
Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.
. Do we submit to them, or arrogantly rule over them?
Ephesians 5:21
submitting to one another in the fear of God
. Do we serve them in love, or expect them to serve us?
Galatians 5:13
For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another
. Do we demonstrate hospitality to them?
1 Peter 4:8-10
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Prayer
.Lord, this sin-sick world is full of disease and pain. No one has a perfect body; we all need to experience Your healing power in some form. Thank You for hope and for the power of Your Word. And thank You for reminding me that there is a special power when I combine fervent prayer with a loving touch. Forgive me for minimizing the potential power of prayer plus human touch. Grant me faith to experience Your healing power in myself as well as in others. Heal others through me. Make me a channel of blessing to those who need it most. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
