WHO'S ON MY GUEST LIST ? ~~~~~~~~ Luke 14:7-14 ----- When you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed. --LUKE 14:13-14  ~~~~ONE day a prominent Pharisee invited Jesus into his home, probably for table fellowship, but possibly to watch Him closely so he could trap Him. While there, Jesus healed a man and taught the host a significant lesson: When making out your guest list for a dinner party, you should not be exclusive--inviting friends, relatives, rich neighbors, and those who can pay you back. Instead, you should be inclusive--inviting the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Although such people would not be able to pay the host back, Jesus assured him that he would be blessed and that God would reward him (Luke 14:12-14). Just as Jesus loves the less fortunate, He invites us to love them by opening our hearts and homes. The poor and needy everywhere Are objects of God's love and care, But they will always know despair Unless His love with them we share. -- --------------------------- OPENING OUR HEARTS AND HOMES BLESSES BOTH US AND OTHERS.  Our Daily Bread Blessings, Abishag <>< JESUS IS LORD !!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
