1 Peter 4:9
“Use hospitality one to another without grudging.”

Hospitality is more than opening doors—it is opening lives. Peter’s instruction is simple and searching. Hospitality that is offered reluctantly or resentfully misses the point. Revival restores generosity of spirit, not merely generosity of space.

Biblical hospitality is not about impressing others. It is about welcoming them. It creates room for fellowship, conversation, and shared life. Revival reclaims hospitality as a spiritual practice, not a social obligation.

The early church grew around tables as much as sermons. Meals created space for trust. Homes became places of ministry. Hospitality allowed relationships to deepen beyond structured gatherings. Revival often returns the church to these simple, powerful rhythms.

Grudging hospitality reveals misplaced priorities. When generosity feels burdensome, it often means we have overfilled our lives with other demands. Revival simplifies life so love has room to operate.

Hospitality does not require perfection. It requires willingness. A shared meal, a listening ear, a welcoming presence—these are often the most effective ministries in the church.

Ask God today where hospitality might look different in your life. Not forced, not showy—but sincere. Revival grows where lives open as readily as homes.

Love that welcomes creates space for grace to work.
