Hospitality in Action

After Lydia's conversion, she was baptized along with others in her family who accepted Christ.  She then presses for the missionary team to stay with them in her home.....Hospitality in action!  Here we see the fruit of salvation already evident in Lydia's life. She seeks to show love to her brothers in Christ by offering them a place to stay.  Hospitality is required of all Christians. Scripture is clear that God desires for His children to use what God has given them for the good of others (see Romans 12:13, 1 Peter 4:9, John 13:35).  In what ways do you struggle to show hospitality. How can you better be obedient to this command?
