Be sure to welcome...in the way of our Master, with all the generous hospitality we Christians are famous for.Famous...for generous hospitality.
That's quite a calling.
Let's break it down:
God's hospitality toward us.
Our hospitality toward ourselves.
Our hospitality toward others.Are you famous for being hospitable toward yourself?
Do you speak kindly to yourself, take steps to strengthen yourself in a balanced way, nurture yourself the way you nurture others?
Is the enemy fighting you harder on your hospitality toward self or toward others?
How you see yourself--how fearfully and wonderfully made--dictates your hospitality toward yourself.
Doesn't it slight God when you see and treat yourself less hospitably than you treat others? He tenders you with the same love He extends to them.
Be famous toward yourself. Then you'll be famous toward others with that same love.
