One day, a woman received a phone call, "Hi, I am Jesus and I am coming to your house for dinner at 6 pm today".

So the woman busy preparing the dinner to welcome Jesus. As she is preparing the dinner, there is a knock at the door.

A poor woman with a child at the door, begging for food. The woman said that she is too busy preparing dinner for Jesus and has no time for this poor woman.

A few minutes later, a knock at the door, this time is an old man, he wore torn clothing and asked if she has any used clothing to give away.

The woman harshly chased the old man away as she is busy preparing dinner for Jesus.

Later, came at her door is her neighbour little boy. He accidentally locked himself outside and he asked whether he could use her phone to call his parent.

But the woman said that she is very busy preparing dinner for Jesus and asked him to wait outside his house until his parent come back.

Sometimes, we are so busy or too engulf with own things that we "forgot" how to care for others.
We forgot what matter most in life.

This could happen in our serving in church. We are too engrossed or taking "pride" with our leadership roles that we ignore and brush off peoples needs. We lost the caring heart.

May we have a heart to discern. Humble - Stop - Listen - Care.
