LOVE!
Reading:
Isaiah 56: 1-8
These verses hold promises to include faithful foreigners and eunuchs in God's people. Being one of those foreigners, I'm grateful. It makes me wonder though, how the Jews felt about including those who were outsiders. And that, in turn, makes me examine my own attitude about including new people at church. I am rejoicing that different people are giving glory to God? Sometimes it is hard for me to check the "but it's my church" attitude.
Lord, thank you for including me and my family. Make me grateful, also, for the sakes of the strange newcomers to the church and to the faith. And if their faces, worship and manner is foreign to me, then cause me to smile at the myriad different ways you choose to be glorified.
