Then Jesus said to the person who had invited him, “When you host a lunch or dinner, don’t invite your friends, your brothers and sisters, your relatives, or rich neighbors. If you do, they will invite you in return and that will be your reward. Instead, when you give a banquet, invite the poor, crippled, lame, and blind. And you will be blessed because they can’t repay you. Instead, you will be repaid when the just are resurrected.” (Luke 14:12-14, CEB)
When you have a dinner do you invite the people that can invite you back or those who no one else would invite?
We are supposed to give to those in need, the last, least, lost, and little, the ones everyone else ignores, but God sees and loves.
We do not need to be repaid here. For us showing love is what we are called to do.
So love and do not worry about receiving. For in giving, you shall receive.
Loving People. Loving God.
