A stranger amongst us.

Do you ever feel like you’re a stranger in a foreign land; those around you seem to be living a different way of life?

As Christians, we are to obey God. If you are in an environment where everyone around you seems to be living their own life, ungodly and sinking in sin, don’t ignore these people. Love them, just as God loves them.

People who don’t know God need to see the light in you. They may see anger, sorrow or depression all day long. Ask God to help you show love to them. Once they see you’re different than most, they’ll want to know why.

1 Peter 2:12 - “Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.”

Take the opportunity to reach out to those in your path. Listen to their story.

There’s one thing I learned on the mission field. Even though you may not know the language, you can still show you care, with a smile or a hug.

If you find yourself a foreigner today, show others the love that God shows you every day.

Be bold and reach out to a stranger today.
