Hold, Honor, and Hospitality

“Let love be genuine….”   Romans 12:9

If ever there is a time to Love, the Time is NOW.

Are you Hurting? Know someone that is?

Everyone has issues, some issues are so intense that we may start to feel hopeless, stuck and gone.

But how can we get out of this feeling of addiction, hopelessness and depression? Hold, Honor and Hospitality…

Romans 12 continues on with a great example of how we can get out of feeling stuck and how we can help others do the same…

“ Abhor what is evil; HOLD fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing HONOR. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show HOSPITALITY.”

Hold-  Hold on to what is Good… if we can be reminded of the Good, the bad will seem further away.
Honor- Outdo one another in showing honor… If we continuously were trying to compete on who honored who… we would get out of our depression and help others do the same.. Imagine constantly honoring someone and being honored by others.
Hospitality- Seek to show Hospitality… by being hospitable and being around people, it would be hard to feel alone and unworthy… Helping others and meeting their needs will not only be uplifting to them, but to you.

Try these three things this week. Get involved, be around people and help those in need.   Serving the Lord will make you Whole.

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer…”
