“Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.” (Hebrews 13:1)
I love the passage above. There is a whole world of blessings, experiences, and new ways God wants to bless each of us if we just step out of our safe circle of familiarity and structured life and step into something strange, foreign and unfamiliar. Taking time to say “hello” to a stranger, someone new, and invite them into a conversation opens the door to God’s grace. Jesus was “strange”, “foreign” and way outside the life structure and comfort circle of the people he lived with. However, those who dared to step “just outside the bubble they lived in” experienced amazing love and grace. And stepping “Just outside the bubble we live in” does not take going on a mission trip, but as this beautiful 2 minute video on a real encounter in life reveals, it is as simple as sitting down in a booth in a restaurant.
My family,
I pray as we all plan to spend a day with family and friends in our circles, you also remove your blinders and see ways to encounter Jesus just outside the bubble you live in, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you my friends!
