Philippians 2:1-8

In a self-centered world where we are conditioned to look out for our own interests above and beyond all else, such kindness was unexpected. The man’s simple gesture showed a different kind of heart and a different set of values. As followers of Christ, we are called to model a similar counter-cultural attitude toward life (Phil. 2:1-8).
In Hebrews 13:2 we read, “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.” What better way to represent Christ than with kindness—even to strangers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. —Hebrews 13:2

[this is good]
I love Hebrews 13:2, I try to keep this in my mind. I have had people knock on my door in the late hours of the night, asking to use the phone to call the police, and I have let them in to do it. I have had people stop me, and ask me for change, and I give them some. I have even stopped for people broken down on the side of the road, and let them use my jumper cables or cell phone to call for help- although my husband doesn't approve of me stopping to help people on the side of the road- he said someone would kill me one day. I have bought strangers meals in restaurants- who couldn't pay. I have given women strangers a ride before, that were at a service station and asked me to, again,my husband said, someone was going to kill me someday when I do these things. I have a very compassionate heart, and am humble and care about people, when I see a need- I try to help if I can.
Thank you for this very good post and a reminder to all of us, that we may be helping angels unaware.
