Be on your best behavior. You never know who you’re going to run into. All it takes is the perfect set of words to change someone’s life or to change your life.
Romans 12.13 Purpose with resolve to treat strangers as saints; pursue and embrace them with fondness as friends on equal terms of fellowship. Make yourself useful in the most practical way possible. (See Hebrews 13:2) Mirror bible
ἅγιος hagios; The word “saints” translates in the Greek to Holy
Hebrews 13.2 Do not neglect to treat strangers with hospitality and affection; they are probably a messenger of God in disguise. (The ancient Greeks saw any stranger is a god in disguise. When Mother Teresa was asked what motivates her to go out into the streets of Calcutta in the odd hours of the night, her reply revealed her mission, “I go to minister to my Lord in his most disturbing disguises.”) Mirror Bible
To think that a stranger could be God in disguise. That’s just hard to even wrap your brain around especially when some of the strangers that we have come in contact with we’re not very nice.
Smiles are contagious. I’d be willing to bet 99% of the time when you smile at a stranger, they will smile back.
That stranger is your neighbor they might not live next door but does that really matter?
Mark 12:31 (ESV) 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Love your neighbor it does a body good!
Love this! Thanks Kee!
