1 Peter 4:9

“Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.”

One evidence of the love we have for each other is that we show hospitality to each other. We go out of our way to be inviting and accommodating to our fellow Christians. Unfortunately, those who we show hospitality to do not always respond with thankfulness. I have encountered several people who were rude to me while I was trying to accommodate them. I responded well publicly, but then grumbled about their behavior after they left. That was wrong of me. I am not only responsible to respond well publicly but privately as well. Even if they are rude, I should show hospitality with love.
