Welcoming as Kindness

At the end of the book of Romans, Paul prays that we would treat one another as Christ did, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 15:5-6). Then he goes on and simply tells them to “welcome one another” (Rom 15:7).

Paul goes on to write that this act of kindness, of truly welcoming each other with the attitude of Jesus, is an act of worship. Reflect on these things as you listen/watch this song.

All Belong Here
The Many

When you’re not sure who you really are
When all you feel is the shape of your scars
And you have more wounds than you can count
Open your eyes, look all around
You aren’t alone, this is your home

Chorus:
Come and remember who you are here
Do this to remember who I am
Come and remember you belong here
All belong here

2.
When you don’t know how to forgive
When locked doors seem like the only way to live
And you’ve got more questions than you can count
Open your eyes, look all around
You aren’t alone, this is your home

Bridge
At this table come as you are
Broken and bleeding’s ok
At this table eat and be filled
Come and drink in this grace.

Chorus:
Come and remember who you are here
Do this to remember who I am
Come and remember you belong here
All belong here
