Kill and eat

 I have had issues with the homeless as I work.  They either see me as competition, taking "their spot" (not in Acres Homes, everyone is scared of that corner!), as a mark who can be exploited, or I'm treated with hostility and in one recent occasion, physical abuse (I still have the bruise!).  On my end, I've realized I have issues with being around addicts, and untreated mental illness.  

But God has had me doing more work with them lately.  Many are ready and eager for the Gospel.  

Today I was reading Acts chapter 10.  It's very interesting, you can look it up on Bible Gateway.  Some back story, Jesus has risen, spent some time with the Apostles, gone back to Heaven.  At this point the ministry was to the Jews.  At this juncture it was also unthinkable for Jews to associate with other races.  They were forbidden to do so in the Old Testament.  They also had strict dietary laws some still follow (eating Kosher).

But God reaches out to Peter by showing him unclean foods and telling him to eat.  Peter says no.  God tells him "Don't call (things) unclean that I have made clean". Then some gentiles (non-jews) come to his door literally asking for the Gospel.  Peter realized the Gospel is for EVERYONE, goes, stays with this man, preaches, everyone gets saved, and a dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit confirms it.  

And it hit me: "Kill and eat"

EVERYONE is my recipient!
