Entertaining Strangers: Are you Into It?
Have you ever meet a stranger? How does it feel to be with a stranger? Do you feel nervous? Are you afraid? Are you one of those who don't like talking to strangers? Or are you willingly do it with them?
Heyahh! Its @renren16 again for another article for the day. How are you feeling today? Feeling good? Great? I hope so. Anyways, I wrote this one for the reason that I just thought about it for a while after I spent some time reading articles and an online bible app. Then I thought that I should share it with you.
Do you talk to strangers? I, myself is one of those who have the thought of not talking to strangers. When I say "stranger", I always see to it that I will not involve myself. One of my reasons is that I judge other people easily. Yes! I admit that. I easily judge even if I don't know exactly about them. What are they? Or I just wasted my chance to get to know better about them. I am also afraid because of the fact that they are strangers. I am afraid of the possibility. What if that stranger will hurt me? What if he/she will hurt my loved one too? I can't take that. And I don't want that to happen.
"Don't talk to strangers". That the common reminder that my mama will always said to me, even at this age. Especially now a days, there's a lot of scammers out there, more on social media.I will not deny the fact that I was scammed. And the hurtful thing about it is that it does happened a lot of times. Maybe I have given my trust that much. I regretted it but it already happened and I don't know what to do about it anymore, that's why, I just it be that way and had promised myself that I should not trust anymore. Especially strangers.
One day, I came to read this one;
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." -Hebrew 13-2. Yes! Its a bible verse. Honestly, I just rarely spend times reading bible. Not in paper material but a mobile app. I then realized that, maybe I came across a stranger that possibly have a good intention. But then, I refused to give him/her a chance to.
"We should always be mindful of the people we come across in our lives. Whether they share the same beliefs as us or not, we should never treat someone badly. As Christians, we should allow the love in our hearts to lead us in treating everyone warmly. In times of the Old Testament, people would entertain guests and some of those guests turned out to be angels. Be kind to everyone you come across- angel or not. Its the best way to express the love of God within us." - King James Bible App
Gladly, when I met you for the first time, it turns out pretty well. And I didn't look at you as if you are bad people. I never treated you as strangers. Instead, I comfortably given my trust towards you and I never regret that I did it. You are my angels. Not just in a way that you have given me tips in my articles but in a way that I was given an opportunity to met people and have a lot of friends. I have someone to talk to, whenever I had problems, may in personal or not. I thanked and very grateful to the Lord that I've met read.cash and I've met all of you in here.
I may have experienced a lot of troubles when meeting and entertaining strangers but I already learned my lesson. "Trust" has its big role in this matter. We should not trust easily but, we should not also allow ourselves to close our doors for meeting strangers and show them our kindness. Who knows, that so called, "stranger" turns out to be your one true love or the one who will help you to achieve success.
So, what can you say? Is it good to entertain them or not? Are you into it?

Your last paragraph said it all, we are admonished to love everyone (strangers inclusive) as in the Bible but this is a modern world as such that we should be careful in letting in strangers because most of them are in disguise
