Lydia, although she was a new believer, she took the initiative to show hospitality to Paul and his companions. As a result, she had the privilege of enjoying the company of these disciples. When Paul and Silas were released from prison, where did they go? Right back to the home of Lydia. Acts 16:40 (NLT)
Like Lydia, can we take the initiative to get to know others? How can we do so? Start Small. Work on talking to one person at a time. We can make it a goal to start a conversation with one person each time we attend our congregation fellowships. Try to smile. If we don't know what to say, ask questions or share something about ourselves.
People often respond to sincere words that are kind and pleasant. Proverbs 16:24 (NLT) ~ "Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul, and healthy for the body."
It is because of Lydia's friendly and hospitable nature that she was blessed with good friends. If you imitate her example, we will be as well. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRuKPIKAFS
