—Matthew 10:40-42
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Hospitality is not something that comes easily for me—an introvert with social anxieties. It is both physically and emotionally taxing to be around others for extended periods of time, and I find solace in keeping my home a quiet place to which I can escape. When presented with the opportunity to welcome people into my home, I have to work hard to remember God’s call for His children to show hospitality. In those times, one of my chief motivations is reminding myself that my hospitality reflects the open arms with which God welcomed me into His Kingdom.
