Share with the saints in their needs; 
pursue hospitality.
Romans 12:13 CSB
Paul is building for us a picture of who we are in Jesus, and how we should live in the light of who we are.
When we read Ch12 from the top and get to this verse it just becomes a natural outworking of all that's come before. 
Just take 2 minutes to read Ch12:1-13.

How does this verse sit with you?
For me it just feels like an obvious next thing to be doing...know how our community are, know people's needs, and help meet them. 
Connect with one another over food or coffee or tea or kombucha.
In my culture we don't talk about our needs. 
Do you?
So if we don't easily talk about our needs, to get anywhere close to what Paul wants us to do here, we're going to have to learn how to listen. 
To ask.
To listen.
Maybe starting with hospitality will open that up...how could I pursue hospitality in the next few days?
Re read Ch12:1-13 
How could I pursue hospitality in the next few days? 
Let it be an outworking of who we are in Jesus.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
