I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.
Maya Angelou (1928-, African-American poet, writer, performer)
Romans 12:9 - 12
Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. (HCSB)
My life’s verse is Hebrews 13:1, “Let Brotherly Love Continue.” In verse 2 Paul tells us, and I believe that he had a life experience that taught him this, that we will at times in this life meet angels. How should this change our attitude towards our daily walk? This is something akin to you spending the night with your friend as a child, and mom coming by to check on you.
It is like the recording at the service center when you call in that says, “This call may be checked for “quality” purposes. This makes brotherly love a more important subject for my life, and it affects how I treat others that I meet in this world. Angels may be measuring my diligence and the fervency of my spirit and service to the Lord. It may even cause me to have fewer bad days as a Christian.
St. Teresa of Avila, reminds of a wonderful fact, “Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.” This palace is the dwelling place of God’s Holy Spirit, and daily He walks with us, and meets life with us. Knowing this fact and remembering who we are as children of the King, will help us to be better prepared for these unexpected meetings with our Lord…God Bless.
