Who is the Master of Your Supper?

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Luke 14:12-14

Is it not these who need to be invited the most? Why exclude the unsaved and the lost when they are starving to death, and we have the Bread that is life giving. Where is the Christ-likeness in that, or maybe the right question is, Who is the master of your supper or gatherings? Do we think we are so much better than them? Or is it fear and that we trust Jesus so little to protect us from the stains of this world that we are only willing to relate among people WE deem good enough at the expense of loosing a desperate lost soul? To quote a popular song "Jesus paid much to high a price for US to pick and choose who could come" Remember, JESUS is "the man with the measuring line in His hand" and He is the one who says "Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns WITHOUT WALLS for the MULTITUDE of MEN and cattle therein" (Zechariah 2)
He promises his protection and his presence as we help Him build His kingdom, lets not take that measuring line from His hands!
Tell someone that you care about them today (preferably someone who doesn't already know or think you do!!)

Being thankful in all things.....
*Silent Light and movement flooding in from the morning onto floors
 *Perspective 
*Divine Inspiration
*Knowing that I don't have to publish a book or climb a mountain or even to save a million souls to find extraordinary (or to live extraordinarily) that extraordinary Him is right here right now if I look for Him on purpose and know that every thing that is, is a gift from Him... and that is extraordinary
