We need a new doormat for our front porch. The one we have now is so old that it is frayed and falling apart. I guess you could say that we’ve worn out our “WELCOME”.

Proverbs 25:17 says, “Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—too much of you, and they will hate you.”

I suppose there is a danger of being around someone too much. The Bible encourages us to be a good neighbor by being involved in their lives. But there is a possibility of being there too much. Let’s try to be discerning as we consider how much of a presence we need to be in the lives of those around us.
