Luke 14:12-14

Then he turned to the host. “The next time you put on a dinner, don’t just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor. Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You’ll be—and experience—a blessing. They won’t be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned—oh, how it will be returned!—at the resurrection of God’s people.”

Building relationships around the hopes of someone returning favors sounds like the job for a greasy politician. Our relationships should be pure, not motivated by what we can gain from them. Jesus did not pick and choose His relationships based on what He could gain and neither should we. May we unbiased in our relationships is my prayer.

Keeping it Real!
