Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
I remember talking to a C3er a few years back. He’s a really rough and tough guy, but he said, “My daughter is a senior and I really wish just one guy would ask her to prom this year”. It hit me as a dad with a daughter that the only thing worse than your daughter dating idiot boys (and all guys know this is true) is your daughter wishing an idiot boy would ask them on a date. It hit hard and made me sad.
Most people feel sad when their friends are invited to a party, and they aren’t. It’s hard being left out, isn’t it? The good news is that Jesus never forgets to invite us to the party. His invitation is open to everyone! In fact, He often went out of His way to show love, kindness, and more to all. It’s what He does for us and what He calls us to do for others.
So this week, do just that! Spend time with your small group, a few friends, your team, or even your family. While you’re together, take time to talk about what it might look like to invite someone new into your group. Think about how you can get into the habit of not just spending time together but also inviting and including others like Jesus did.
Prayer for the Day
God what are you showing me? What am I going to do about it?
God help me to see one person that I can serve through a kind word, random act of kindness, or simple gift today?
