Continue

What things continue?  Thank goodness -- oxygen, the sun, the moon.  I could do with a few less of some things – bills, dirty dishes, morning alarms ... but continue they do!

 

God's Word tells Believers there are certain things which should continue: "Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." (Hebrews 13:1-2).  We are careless [to our faith] when we allow moodiness or convenience interrupt continuance of love and kindness – opportunities to do good to Believers and non-Believers are lost [and gone forever]. That's why God commands these things to continue -- in spite of how we feel, who we like or dislike, how busy we are, or if it's convenient.  We cannot do a kindness too soon, for we never know how quickly soon becomes ... too late. That person who stops you in the hall or at the grocery store may need a kind word or a moment of your time.  The next person who interrupts your work – no matter what he or she wants may really want to know just how much you really care.  Yes, let love and kindness continue … and continue … and continue … and continue ...
