Now just what is sociability?
Look in the Bible and you will see.
God knew Adam should not be alone.
God made Eve, Adam's wife to be known.
Hospitality in Bible Days,
Important to obeying God's ways.
Abraham for guests prepared a meal,
So that strangers welcome would feel.
Entertaining angels unaware
Could happen almost anywhere.
To a wedding we know Jesus went,
To His first miracle did consent.
Thousands of people by him were fed.
To listen to Him they were led.
Sometimes with sinners He chose to eat.
He even washed the disciples feet.
Jesus loved His friends in Bethany,
And wept with them where all could see.
Hospitality too, plays a part.
Interact with others from the heart.
Some people are social naturally.
Others need help this way to be.
God will help us if we will ask.
He will fit us for any task.
Some social situations aren't good,
Do not bless others the way they should.
So to love our neighbor as our self
Means we are concerned about his health.
Even Jesus needed time alone,
So His Father's will could be shown.
So God will help us each time we ask,
Social or not, with every task.

Thanks and keep writing.

In whatever situation we find ourselves, we should consider other's needs.
Nice writing.
I thought the poem's transition from Jesus being social to being left alone needed to be more developed.
It was a good reminder to us that Jesus is always near.
Blessings~
