i have never noticed this before

reading in John this morning



1:35-42

two of john the baptist's disciples began to follow after Jesus-

they said

"Rabbi, where are you staying?"




and Jesus said

"Come, and you will see."


and they went and stayed the day with him at his house.




perhaps small
perhaps no big deal



BUT


to me
today


it reminds me of the importance of  hospitality.  and maybe it also makes me a bit jealous, they got to hang out at Jesus's house!  


i pray that our home is one that welcomes people in the Spirit of the Lord, creating a safe home for family and visitors, and provides a place of exploration that all could leave proclaiming the same thing these two men did:


"We have found the Messiah!"




i love how the Spirit personalizes scripture for each Jesus follower- today. I needed a word.  Your turn to listen to His voice today.
