Text: Luke 24:13-35, John 15:1-17
Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
– 1 John 4:11-12, NLT
It was these verses from 1 John chapter 4 that first challenged me to live with the conviction that people are never interruptions but divine appointments to show and express God’s love. This is the ultimate act of being hospitable—to welcome and walk with others in love.
I spent several years walking alongside women, developing, encouraging and leading them to better understand that they matter to God and have tremendous influence. So when I lost my job earlier this year, I was shocked and devastated. It was very unexpected and I found myself questioning God, wondering whether loving others was truly of value.
Job loss, family crisis, conflict, gossip, comparison, jealousy… these are grievances we are bound to experience as we walk with others in love. We run the risk of being hurt, of experiencing loss, of being devastated and asking God: Is love worth it?
Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
– Mark 12:29-31, NLT
God first commands us to love and abide in Him. He is jealous for our love! He walks in our presence every moment of every day. He lives in us, therefore equipping us to walk alongside others in love. We are the representation of the invisible God! So as we walk hand in hand with God, we are able to walk with others by:
Seeing them with unfiltered eyes.
Slowing down to listen, pray and encourage.
Forgiving when forgiveness transcends understanding.
Loving without condition.
This kind of hospitality is only possible in Jesus.
I’ll never forget the day I broke the news of my job loss to my teenage son. He has grown up as my sidekick and I knew I had to tell him. That Friday afternoon driving home from basketball practice, I shared the news with a tear-drenched face. When we stopped at a red light, he put his hand on my shoulder and spoke these words over me. “Mom, you are loved because you have loved well. You don’t need to have that job or any job to love others. You will always love and, in return, others will love. That is what Jesus teaches us and how He commands us to live.” The way the Holy Spirit spoke through my son that day still brings me to tears.
My son understood and reminded me of the lesson the two men learned on the road to Emmaus: Being with Jesus changes us. He is the reason we love. He is the reason we welcome others. When we abide in the Lord, He loves us and we can then love. He teaches us, and we learn and pass it on.
Because the Savior says to us, “Walk with me,” we can walk with others.
Pray that you will have the eyes to see who God puts in your path to love today.

I think the parable He gives in this chapter is so perfect! We are the branches but a tree would wither if it wasn’t for the vine giving us the source of life we need! God is such a incredible teacher! My strength comes from Him as my source of life and hope!
It’s amazing in John 15 when Jesus is talking about the vine, the branches, pruning, fruit, and the Father. What draws me to wonder is Jesus’ command. It seems as though the command always leads back to love- loving God and loving others.
This is such a great reading plan, ty (:
Sisters I need prayer! We are fostering a brother and sister. The boy has seen nothing but hate and disdain toward women for 10 years of his life and therefore is a challenge to love. I want to love him unconditionally and show him that not all women will let him down or leave him. Some days are easier than others! I want to have the Jesus kind of hospitality for him and his sister! Thanks for your prayers!
Praying for God’s love to flow through you and for hearts to be changed!
Praying for the fruits of the spirit to run through your home and through this precious boy who asking for love in all the wrong ways. Praying the enemy gets his hands off him and all the lies and evil he has done to be shown as his work alone and that God’s grace and mercy is revealed to him. In Jesus Name!
I love that the two men traveling, Simon and I’m not sure the other man gave us insight to the insight and clarity that Jesus gives us when we turn to his word and prayer. Sometimes we brainstorm situations, things that we hear, a topic that we are trying to grasp and obtain understanding on, even when reading the Word, but when Jesus walks with us ( like he did with the men ) he is delighted to give us true insight. He shared with them truth, and gave them understanding and hope when they let the author or truth speak into their lives. So for me I want to begin to take the time to ask God in prayer what his thoughts are on a situation, for his discernment and wisdom, and especially when reading the Word. I want God to reveal true understanding to me, so I can grasp more of his character and his love!
Today, and everyday I invite Jesus to walk with me, to give me insight with every situation!
Sometimes I find myself running thinking I’ll get more done, and expecting God to keep in time with me. I’m starting to learn that walking , and allowing Him to set the pace, sets me up to succeed in His plans for me, which are the ones most important to be successful at. The journey is the destination.
what an awesome way to put it- us trying to make God keep our pace, when we need to align ourselves with him- AMEN
Love is such a beautiful thing. Just the existence of such an emotion can prove the Lord is true by itself.
It’s interesting how our backgrounds extinguish who we are and once were string in Jesus to walk in the path he has for us, our walk with him is leveled at a much deeper need for him toward others. I want to be defined by Jesus love!
So simple. Yet profound. I need Jesus. Having grown up in the church, the daughter of a pastor, I easily get sucked into allowing my Christian service and various church ministries become my identity in a way. And those are good things but when I elevate them to a position equal with Christ and what he has done for me, I am adding to the Gospel and therefore perverting it. I need Jesus. Period. He loves me. Period. So I can love others.
I needed to hear this today! Working with four year old can feel overwhelming at times especially when I feel I am pulled in a million directions. Today I will pray, help others without feeling burdened and love my fellow teachers well!
I am a teacher and at school I easily get frustrated when my daily plans are
Interrupted by students needing me or administrative tasks. This is a great reminder this morning as I return after the holidays to remember to slow down to listen, pray and encourage.
This devotional really hit home. I love how it first tells how we have to intentionally go to Jesus first. Then we have to use we Jesus fixed in us with others. We can miss a step, but rather we have to go to Him first.
This weekend I was shown such hospitality and love. I pray that I can show hospitality and love on a greater level in my life. AMEN
Wow, this really touched my heart today. Thank you!
This really spoke to me…..
Seeing them with unfiltered eyes. Slowing down to listen, pray and encourage. Forgiving when forgiveness transcends understanding. Loving without condition.
If we could all learn to love as our savior did! Even just a fraction of it would make this world a better place!
I just want to pass on love….the thing is when I'm hurt for doing just that, it makes it harder to keep loving. But that is when love becomes selfless. This study is challenging me on new levels. I consider party planning and hospitality my love language but this is making me view it in a whole new light.
Amen! I can relate to this on every level and am so thankful for how much truth there is to this. “He is the reason we love. He is the reason we welcome others. When we abide in the Lord, He loves us and we can then love. He teaches us, and we learn and pass it on.”
This was such a valuable read for me tonight. I struggle quite a bit with finding my identity in my job. I work in a helping profession but haven’t had steady work for almost 2 years now. I have an opportunity for steady work in a different kind of job but have worried that I won’t be able to help people the way I do now. This reading today reminded me that I have opportunities to love and help people wherever I am. It’s not dependent on my job title. Thank you for bringing the truth today!
When I lost my job at a Christian institute so the pastor could hire his wife, I was so hurt and devastated. But God drew me close to Him, provided a new job within two weeks and has put people in my life to love and care for that I wouldn’t have even met if I stayed at my old job. It’s still rough and I struggle with anger some days, but God’s plans were better than mine.
It is both a comfort and a challenge that “Because the Savior says to us, ‘Walk with me,’ we can walk with others.” We aren’t in this alone. Yet, we are still called to not be stagnant, and to walk alongside others. Thank you Lord for this opportunity.
Wow!!!
amen. a thousand amens.
People are not disruptions but divine interventions. I needed to hear that today! Been snapping at others (family gets the brunt of it) when they talk to me at the most inconvenient times. Lord help me to love!
That really stood out to me too!!
Really spoke to my heart today, SRT!! Thank you so much!!!
Hi ladies! I’m after some wise advice from some godly women. How can I forgive someone when doing so would hurt another? My two sisters have had a lot of conflict and some horrible things have been done and said. I want to forgive the one who has done the hurting, but worry that this will feel like another blow to the sister who has been hurt.
Hi April,
I just wanted to share a few verses that have encouraged me in my own life when it comes to forgiving others. There are so many more but here’s one… Colossians 3:12-17 v.13 states “bearing with one another and if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as The Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”
Keep praying girl! God works in amazing ways & I hope that he will restore all of you & that everyone one day will be able to look to Jesus & be thankful for all He’s done! It’s a long road, but just remember to cling to Christ!
I have three sisters, so I completely understand, and have been the sister who has been hurt from another… So when saying this, I am hopefully a good comparison to your sister. I would forgive, because that’s what He has taught us to do, and then talk with the sister who has been hurt and tell her why you’ve chosen to forgive. Even if she doesn’t understand now, she will eventually. Also, the sister who has done hurtful things, maybe you could talk with her as well and give her some advice as to why what she did wasn’t the best decisions she’s made, but further explain that we all make mistakes and that may prompt a conversation between the two in conflict. Just a thought.. But I’ll be praying the all three sisters reunite!!
Debbie, thank you for this gift of your writing today. I am so relieved and humbled to know someone else knows the sting and God-sense of a former job loss with the clarity you expressed. Love, Jesus's freely given love and example is worth it. Because I am slowly healing and adopting hard-learned lessons from Him, I am becoming more hospitable in friendships, acquaintances and at home. God's timing is so truly amazing in His wisdom and provision for what we can handle and deliver to give Him glory. Have a delightful November's welcome this weekend, every one!
lovely blog, I like it
Thank you SRT for the beautiful Android app. I love, love, love it ♡♡♡♡ :)
YAY!!! Thrilled you're joining us, Bree! We love having you!

Thank you for this and for making Android possible. Thank you for everything !
I've always had very little patience for interruptions. I have my routine that I like to follow and I get aggravated when my routine is disrupted. I've always known it was a weakness of mine. Thank you so much for saying that we should never see people as interruptions. I've always focused on the interruption itself as something that is irritating me, instead of focusing on the person that God had set in my path. Thank you for presenting it in this way. I think it will really help me in my struggle.
Brought tears to my eyes. "We have TREMENDOUS influence." "Forgiving when forgiveness TRANSCENDS understanding." Beautifully written. The Spirit was pouring into my heart today. Luke 24:32 "Did not our <3 Heart burn within us."
I'm so blessed by this study this morning! (or afternoon.. better late than never right?) :) Just to think that we are close friends with Jesus is so amazing! I love that He is walking with us every moment of every day! That we can love others because He loves us! I've had a couple really bad days lately and this just brings me so much joy to know Jesus is with us, even on our bad days <3
We sure do have a friend in Jesus! It’s a blessing. He loves us, flaws and all (:
"Pray that you will have the eyes to see who God puts in your path to love today." Amen! Such a great reminder.
Being extremely type-A, my eyes are often too focused on my to-do list and packed calendar to see the one God puts in my path to love well. My prayer lately has been to slow down so I am able to see who the Lord is asking me love and to create margin in my schedule so I can love and serve others well (even/especially when it's not planned!)
Hospitality in the face of hurt is only possible through Jesus.
Oh wow, did that hit me today. Walking with Jesus, we can see others through unfiltered eyes rather than filtering them through the lens of our hurt. That stopped me cold. I need to throw out my lenses, the ways that I view people, especially those who've hurt me and truly look through the eyes of a loving Creator. I want people to look beyond their lenses of me and see me as God sees me, the very best version of me and I can do the same for others. But I can only do that through Jesus. I can love without condition. Being with Jesus changes me.
There is such power there. I embrace that today.
Oh man did that bit me! I have been hurt while extending hospitality. My initial response is to hole up and refrain from loving. But that is not what we are called to do. This study is challenging me and today your comment further helped that challenge. Thank you!!
I pray that we will all start to view others as those divine appointments rather than interruptions. What a great way to put that. As I head off to my kids' Halloween festivities at school today, I pray that I would look on and interact with the students and other parents with love. And as we head this weekend to the hospital to welcome our third child, I pray God would give my husband and I the opportunity to show hospitality to those working in the hospital to bring our daughter safely into the world.
Congratulations! I'm praying for a smooth delivery as you welcome a new member to your family.
“that people are never interruptions but divine appointments to show and express God’s love. This is the ultimate act of being hospitable—to welcome and walk with others in love.” I think this says it all. That is our goal.
Kami – this is exactly what I was going to say. So simple, yet we make it so complicated…
I am called friend; because I know what the Father is doing! Christ chooses us, shares his knowledge with us, & walks with us as we accomplish His commands.
This is not only comforting to me, but honoring & humbling. I am not good at having patience with others; I have a limit I seem to hit way too early. But; whatever I ask of The Lord he provides. A precious reminder I am not capable of accomplishing His calling without His care.
Have a sweet Friday ladies!
Oh my oh my oh my. Just had to share my expression. Not only is this speaking very much into my current journey right now…but I have the blessed opportunity to share this with my teenage daughter who is experiencing much pain with loving others right now. You women are on fiyah! Thank you so much, LORD, for speaking here today.
How wonderful that you and your daughter are studying The Word together, Jamie! Praying that God would hold you close and continue to speak into your relationships!

We are the branches and Jesus is the vine. As long as we stay connected to the vine, we are bound to bear fruit.
I want to remain so close to Jesus that my life radiates His..that when people see me, they see Jesus.
My prayer is that my love for God will compel others to seek Him and love Him too.
What an honor to be able to have Jesus living inside of us, and to be able to share Him with those around us.
That always amazes me.
If I follow Jesus’ example, true hospitality will lead others to Him. That’s really what it’s all about anyway. I’m grateful for another reminder that it’s not all about me. :)
Yes! Love that reminder, Emily! Thanks for sharing!

I have loved this study. But today was a hard read because I’m afraid it was God answering my prayer. You see, my new neighbors are 4 women in a sober living house. In a nice residential neighborhood with kids all around. And these women behave insanely and fight and wake my children up at night with their screaming, and quite frankly I don’t want that instability next door to my family. The police say all we can do is move because they have the right to be here. I’ve been struggling with the anger I feel towards them but not wanting my kids to see it. I don’t want to admit it, but these women are literally my neighbors and after today’s study, I guess I’ve just been told what I should do. Or at least begin with the mindset I should have.
He will give you what you need. The blessing in obedience is worth it. Praying courage and strength for you Sonia!!
Sonia, oh I understand so much of what you speak here. We lived in a neighborhood we really believed in, but directly across from not only a family that dealt drugs, but the lead guy for a local gang, as well. The characters we saw and the things we witnessed…so hard, from a woman being dragged by the hair into the street and hit, drug deals like crazy, kids running around all nights, weapon "exchanges", two drive bys, and a plethora of other things. In fact, after we moved, the young man that lived in our old house, was shot and killed…so scary. BUT when we were there, God was clear that we were to be lights, His lights and though we failed in some areas on some days, we tried to share Him in our behaviors. We took meals and fresh bread over when we'd learn of a death of someone close to them, we gifted all of our baby clothes when they had a child, we would chat with them about randomness, we even had our community group out a few times to clean our street, and help with moves and any needs our neighbor had. Over that time, they changed a bit, their deals were no longer on our street and if someone was parked in front of our house when we'd pull up, they'd immediately move. One day, I forgot to move my car for the sweeper and the son jumped out of bed, ran across the street to alert me that I'd be ticketed. It was all very little, but big at the same time. When we left, the son I mentioned, was carrying a bible in his car…it was a start to change.
My long story is just to say, start small. Be encouraged that your presence and love of them in this difficulty won't go unnoticed. I'll be praying that God provides peace for you in this and that He provides a testimony your children can speak of through you walking this walk. ~ B
Sonia, I'm praying God gives you an extra measure of His love for these women. That they would see Him reflected in you and want to know & learn more about our Heavenly Father and the saving grace of Jesus – because of your willingness to be used by God. I hope & pray satan's plans would be thwarted and you might gain four blessed friendships.
Our focus can become so narrow when we're dealing with trauma or chaos, any unexpected season or trouble. It is a default to narrow in and look for solace where we can, like a heavy fog, we walk slow and reach out for what we can see to hold onto. I pray that in our grief over this life we experience Christ and freely share Him with others. That we not only pray for those we see, but that we stop what we are doing and join them on their walk, holding their hand and loving them, listening to their heart. I pray that God lifts the blinders and compels us to see, without fail, Christ in everyone, even those we may not want to. And I pray heartily, that God provide these Christ "seeing" angels in *our* lives and on *our* walks. That He place new friends where they are needed and that we see His love of us through others as well. ~ B
Well said!
I am so encouraged this morning from this lesson. Today I have to go to work and possibly hear some news from my immediate supervisor. But this is teaching me that I must love in spite of what might be said. I must love in spite of others negativity. My theme for today is " walk with me." I know I can make it through this day as long as I am hand in hand with Jesus, my Lord and Savior.
This study has been wonderful so far. It has really been opening my eyes to areas I didn't even know I was slacking in. I want my eyes to be open to ways I can show his love daily to everyone around me. I want to walk with Jesus by my side and shine his love like a radiant diamond.
This song was brought to my heart and mind this morning as I read this..Hope uns enjoy. http://youtu.be/fGF-MGGLpB0
Oh you can't go wrong with NTB for some inspiration. Thanks I hadn't seen that video.
I am so excited to get up in the morning and start my day here! I read and then make a video that I post to YouTube about my thoughts and what I have learned. It is so wonderful to share this experience and prayers will all of you. We have to share the news of the Father's love with all!
Hi Wendy! We are so thrilled to have you! Grateful to study hospitality together!
xoxo-Kaitlin for She Reads Truth
Because the Savior says, “walk with Me,” we can walk with others.
I have lived and believed the lies of hospitality for too long. True hospitality is only possible with Jesus. JESUS, please wait while I try to catch up to you.. to walk WITH you. Thank you for your prayers sisters and thank you for this study #SRT!!
p.s. my little old guy didn't come in for coffee yesterday:/ I thought is was pretty neat that you referred to him as "quirky" @Catherine_K_L as the café is called The Quirky Carrot :)
Haha! Julia ….. Isn't that a coincidence! I often wonder about people that cross my path that I have conversation with, and will never see again. I had one of those occasions on Tuesday. I was in an office waiting to see the doctor and was speaking to the receptionist about not being able to see without my reading glasses when this quirky little old guy jumps right into my conversation about eyes and then takes a 90 degree turn and tells me his life story and how he has lost everything and how he should've never moved from New York, etc etc etc. it was a sad story and I was being called and only had a moment to respond to him. In my heart, I remember thinking about what do I say? I tried to encourage him to keep his head up, that better things were coming and that as long as he had a heartbeat and was drawing breath that he had a purpose. It was said that fast, no further discussion. But, I've thought about it all week. It would be a very slim chance to see that person ever again. I just hope that somehow The love of Jesus spoke through me. Sometimes I feel so spent and worn thin from my own day to day activities that I view encounters like this, or a phone call from a friend or family member unloading their problems on me as an inconvenient interruption. I find myself sometimes thinking as I'm listening that I am so spread thin with more plates spinning in the air than I can handle already that I don't know if I can bear another grief, or help carry another burden, or whether I even have an ounce of wherewithal to be an effective friend. This study is making me think that those are the very times I need to shift my focus off myself and onto Jesus, onto true hospitality, onto sharing the love of Christ. I believe that is where I will find my own respite. I believe I need to remember the commandment of Jesus to love one another and I believe I am beginning to understand why that is the greatest of all the commandments.
awesome Catherine..just awesome. i echo many of your sentiments. even if you never meet that man again, your awareness has been heightened, and you will be able to shift your focus on Jesus. praying we can both do this. have a great day!
What a privilege and adventure it is to walk with Jesus and let Him guide our feet, our eyes and the work of our hands!
Blessings for for this day, ladies!
It IS such a privilege! I'm so thankful. Grateful to study hospitality together!

This passage reminds me of my day at work on yesterday. There was confusion and frustration that was causing everyone to lose their demeanor. It has been a trying week full of unexpected issues. I have a tendency when that happens to offer hugs. One of two things will occur the person will accept it and thank me or not accept it, thank me for the offer, and smile. One of my co-workers did nit accept it and said "maybe later." So later I asked if she was ready for her hug. She apologized and accepted. I tolf her it was ok and I was not offended. I told her even in that moment the offer did what I needed it to do make her smile and give her a moment of peace. We can show love in the smallest ways and it will change the course of someone's day or even life.
"Pray that you will have the eyes to see who God puts in your path to love today."
What an amazing series this has been so far and what an amazing prayer! I am most amazed about how simplistic biblical hospitality is… Love others as Jesus loves us- intentionally and selflessly. And yet as simple as this notion of biblical hospitality, it is so powerful! It is putting others needs ahead of our own and imitating the ways of Jesus! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Jesus is the ultimate role model!
I pray that my eyes will be open to see how I can love others as Jesus loves me. I pray that I see opportunities to be intentional and selfless today. But most importantly, I pray that God will open the hearts of those that see Jesus in me. Amen.
I’ve been going through a rough patch, and for a minute there I couldn’t feel His presence. I felt alone on my path. I know The Lord walks with me, even when my human ways blind me from seeing and feeling it. I’m afraid of losing my way. I pray that He keeps me close in the palm of His hand.
Touching and agreeing with you Zana. Even when it feels likr He is not there, He is. Hold on and press through. Saturate yourself with His word through reading and song.
Thank you Lord for your daughter Zana. Thank you that you promise to never leave her/us. Lord, please fill Zana with your peace and gently direct her path. Amen
I am there with you in experiencing moments of fear, but am reminded how frequently God instructs us not to worry, to cast our cares upon Him. Learning to be still and know in this season of my life too.
Lord, as you bring peace to our hearts, may we share it with those you place in our paths.
Zana, I will be prayerful today that your path be just as that of Emmaus….with your eyes open. That you experience a closeness to Christ in the season that will leave you panting for more. One that will be of great comfort to you and those around you. Whatever you are enduring Zana, you are not alone, He is with you and earthly speaking, He will put Grace filled people about you. ~ B
I am at the same point in my life. I have been praying for my Holy Spirit to talk to God because I cannot feel him with me. I felt that I am alone on my path and I didn't know where that path was leading me or if God would walk it with me. This is a good reminder that he watches over us, he is ALWAYS there and we are the representation of an invisible God!
Re some of yesterdays comments and todays….THERE IS AN ARMY rising up…..in the next generation…I'm telling you….a beautiful God- filled, God knowing, God guiding/leading army being raised in our young….and that warms my heart..when youngsters are wiser than their years, in words and deed….'.somebody' better watch out…. CHANGE IS COMING….CHAINS WILL BE BROKEN…AMEN….AMEN..AMEN..
Debbie, in answer to your question…..Love is always worth it….Always….
We all need love….each and every person on this earth….Love is the language we all yearn for, yearn to speak it, , and to be in. receipt of…a currency we all need, no matter how pig-headed, strongwilled or hard we think we are! .. …The hitch-hikers guide says 42 is the answer to everything…..I believe Love is…..42, cannot melt a heart, or redirect the heart owners thinking, 42, ,cannot move mountains, but Love, can…42,is not the way to God…Love….however, is sure…..and a way….Love, is a hunger deep in each of us….whether we know it or not, whether we believe or not… Love is the currency of God…and this world…
'…Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other….'.yet I think this is hard, sometimes….I know and understand that the hand is to be extended to those we would not necessarily call friend, even when they make it difficult….we have to keep trying, because it is the eventual realization that the pursuit, the hospitality has been in love, that will win out in the end….to gain us a friend, and be glorifying to the Lord God….
The song… I'll walk with God came to mind as I began to write…
I'll walk with God from this day on, His helping hand…I'll lean upon…this is my prayer, my humble plea, May the Lord God ever be with me….He'll never fail me as long as my faith is strong…whatever road I may walk along…
Lord God, May this truly be my prayer, that as you walk with me, so may I walk with others…Thank you Lord, thank you…
Happy Friday Sisters…Blessings..xxx
Thank you Tina for this! As a mother to a little 3 year old girl and a teacher to many high schoolers, your comment about change brought tears to my eyes. I pray for this change, too. That God works in my heart and through my actions to show my own daughter the sweet truth of following Jesus. Or that my students, even in a public high school, can experience the type of biblical submission we've been reading about. Your comment really hit home in my heart and encouraged me to keep walking with Jesus and loving all those that he puts in my path… And that includes you Ms. Tina. Much love to you today!
Tina, you truly are a part of what you speak. The love you show here alone is beautiful, refreshing and encouraging. So God given. I am so blessed by knowin you here. I feel that you exemplify love as a currency…gifting away all that you have. Thank you for sharing your love here and not hesitating in your words over your sisters. Love you my friend! ~ B
Yes, Lord. Open my eyes, open my heart. Lace Your fingers in mine and make me brave as we walk this road together.
Agreeing in prayer with you. Amen!
