Knock at the Door

A few weeks ago it was so hot in parts of the mid-west that there were heat advisories and rolling blackouts all over. Anyone who was outside in the heat should have had a real good reason. So of course I was quite baffled  to receive a knock at my door. Once I got to the door, there was a man dressed in all black with a  clipboard. I looked at him and said I can't believe your employer would have you out here on one of the hottest days of the year .He told me it didn't bother him much. Then he goes on trying to sell me windows and   I interrupted him telling him I wasn't interested ,but before I went to close the door I noticed the man had sweat just pouring off of him. I looked into this man's deep blue eyes as he still tried to sell me windows and said I'm not buying what your trying to sell but can I offer you a nice cold bottle of water.  He humbly accepted.

Several things came to mind after this individual left.Immediately the first thing that popped up in my head is the story of the Woman at the Well in John 4:1-42. What if that was Jesus at my door? Did I pass his test. I could have easily slammed the door and not thought much of it at all. God's sends us Angel's to test us at times and sometimes we really don't see it that way. In Hebrews 13:2 it says " Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it".  So please believe that there are Angels amongst us.  The next time a stranger approaches treat them kindly!!!
