Is it safe in your presence?

[carlos marquez]

When strangers step into your presence,do they feel comfort and peace?


Or,when strangers come into your presence,do they feel like they are being pulled over by a cop who is about to issue them a citation?

Are you the type who would be inclined to be the people's attorney?

Or,would you be more suited to be a prosecuting attorney?

When confronted by rude and ugly strangers,will they see you in full riot gear,or will they see arms wide open with the offer of fogiveness and healing?


Matthew 12:18-21.(KJV)

Behold my servant,whome I have chosen;My beloved,in whome my soul is well pleased:I wiil put my spirit upon Him,and he shall show judgement to the gentiles.

He shall not strive,nor cry;neither shall any man hear his voice on the streets.

A bruised reed shall he not break,and smoking flax shall he not quench,till He send forth judgement unto victory.

And in His name shall the gentiles trust.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares......Hebrews 13:10


O Lord give us hearts that live and love like Jesus. And may we ever shine for Thee...... to those we know and to strangers we don't know.... May we be bright warm welcoming beacons ever ready to share His beautiful love.


Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
Matthew 25:35-40
