{{info}}In Romans 12:13, Paul points out that one effect of God’s mercy on his people is that they “seek to show hospitality.”

''Seek''. Pursue. Chase after.

They are not merely ''willing'' to be hospitable when someone comes to the door or asks for a favor. But they ''seek'' to show hospitality. They’re looking for and creating opportunities to be hospitable, not just answering the doorbell.

That Paul would point to ''seeking'', not merely ''being willing'' to be hospitable, makes sense. After all, it’s an implication he’s drawing from the gospel—a gospel that says God was not merely hospitable to us when we asked him, but he ''sought'' to show hospitality.

He took initiative toward us before we showed up at his door or asked for any favors.

I’m thinking who we should have over next.
