- A Genuine Spirit of Love -
I arrived to the Island of Mauritius back in the year of 2013. Meeting people has never been a problem for me. As a matter of fact I am always looking to meet new people while getting to better know the ones that I've previously met.
I admit that with some people it is 'Extremely' easy to connect with, while with others it does take a little work and maybe even a little (or a lot) of prayer. Alvin was definitely one of the easy ones. From the start, it was an absolute connection of 'Brotherly Love' and instant trust. To which with time did it prove to be of genuine, biblical proportion.
Alvin was not part of the church group that I was assigned to assist, but rather a childhood friend from two of the members of the group. When I met him for the first time, he happened to be having car trouble. To which I quickly found the issue and corrected it. Of course this only heightened my credibility with him as one who was worth having around. It is a special and unique feeling to 'Be Welcomed', which is why it is so important as Christians to 'Greet one another with a holy kiss'.... Especially in a church setting where someone may be attending church for the first time....
- Romans 16:16 'Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.'
- 1Corinthians 16:20 'All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.'
- 2Corinthians 13:12 'Greet one another with a holy kiss.'
- 1Peter 5:14 'Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.'
I do understand that the 'Kissing Part' is not the literal action for today. However, the 'Genuine' love and affection that comes from a pure heart most certainly was the motivation used which came out of the first Holy Spirit led church. A quality that is still to be applied today. A genuine love and affection which is an unfortunate lost method of church function that I continue to fight for and challenge the church to visit once again.
The Living God of the Bible really does have a way of working things out for the good of all that are in line with His perfect providence. Seven years later, as I find myself with the task of getting the business of proper ministry up and running. Incrementing all of its tools of today with 'Social Media'.... My having to learn about Computers and their function has never been my strongest desire. We can all come to a point where we just don't know why 'It's Not Working'.
I give Alvin a call to see what he can do for me. As he is a computer technician (or something like that).... Alvin comes over to my home and just like that, my computer worked perfectly with nothing to report as a failure....Though he did not have to do anything to my computer. He gave me some great advice on what to do about upgrades to my laptop. We were also able to catch up on where we were with the LORD and it was nice to see a genuine spirit of love in him. I look forward to working with him in the future.
