09 Closed off Mansions

Sometimes the more we have the more closed off we become to the spontaneous work of the Holy Spirit. Our days are so full, our lives so busy, so much to take care of that we forget to leave our doors open for those in need. In the book Mrs. Mike, our main character experiences the simple hospitality of desolate Canada where people have so little yet are willing to readily share out of their lack, in contrast to a city where she stops by a mansion to ask for a drink of water and is turned away. It is not a question of what we have, but how we are willing to let the Lord use our lives.
