When Neva & I invite people to our table, we love to invite people that are much younger and much older than us. The Lord says that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This represents three generations.
We have so much that we can learn from both the older and younger generations around us. The older generations have much wisdom gained through experience and time. They can help us to navigate through both difficulties and triumphs in our lives, because they may have already experienced those things. They have laid a pathway with their efforts and then paved it for other generations to follow. We have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and triumphs.
The younger generations bring an excitement and passion to 7life because there is so much potential ahead of them. They often believe that there is nothing that they cant do and will stubbornly persevere until they win just because someone told them that they “cant”. So many incredible breakthroughs have come from younger people who just wouldn’t give up!
So as you invite people to your table, look around for those that you can learn from and those that you can invest into. Dont be afraid to invite someone who you might not have much in common with. You have this in common, “you were both created in the image of God!” Start with that and then build from there. I guarantee you that you will be better for having made the effort.
