To really welcome the other
The way we have been welcomed
In Christ
What does it mean
To feed, to clothe, to water
The other
The way God has
Fed, clothed, and watered us
What it means is simply this
I will meet you
Exactly as you are
I will have a holy curiosity
To create space
To know you
And to be known by you
I'll put judgment
On the shelf
And pull out the chair for you
So you can join the feast
What you do with this welcome
Is up to you
But the welcome itself
Is up to me
Sit down, rest a while
And enjoy connection
For this is the kingdom
Of our Lord
