How'd you like to be the church that turned down the opportunity to partner with the Apostle Paul? Probably not a great look -- I bet those guys regretted that when they read the New Testament!
We don't know much about the future -- including what kind of people some individuals will turn out to be. We often think we know everything about someone that we need to know, only to be continually surprised by people when we discover their capacity to surprise us.
So may we enter new relationships with open minds and hearts, and give people the grace and room to develop into the people God made them to be. May we default to saying 'yes', and trusting in the work of the Holy Spirit to knit us together into something beautiful.
