Since last blog I was thinking about Hospitality and the whole idea of it, I came across this thought from Matt Mahre on his blog site:
Noted author Henri Nouwen once said, "the greatest sign of a Christian was their sense of hospitality" Well, of course it would be extremely inhospitable to "force" an agenda on someone, without their willing permission. This is the "grave" sin that God speaks of - when one knowingly and willingly compromises the sanctity and dignity of another human person for personal gain (of any kind). The opposite of love isn't hate, as Pope John Paul 2 spoke in the Theology of the Body, it's use. To use someone for personal gain (whether it be emotional, psychological or physical) is a terrible sin against God
(From Matt Mahre's blog)
It was what I was trying to say...Someone else always seems to get it "righter" than me!
