Romans 12:13
"distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality."
I see the command to give. To give without ceasing, as a brother might need. Not necessarily in goods, or material things, but in guidance, help, or hospitality. To be willing to give whatever you have to offer in order for all of your brothers in Christ to be taken care of. So no one will be lacking in gifts of the Spirit, and all can follow Christ with a whole and honest, good heart. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says, "Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you", so in showing hospitality in opening your heart to others you are welcoming them into your home.
I need to follow the word of God in my life. I need to live out the commands, in this way, sharing them with my brothers, who are, too, searching for the Father, so we can grow together. I want to open my heart to those who are in need, so they, too can be temples for God, also opening their homes to others.
