Recently I got to thinking that if God put so many verses in the Bible about Biblical Hospitality maybe He had texts about the problems created by abuse.  I wondered what I might find as I started searching my Bible.  Some stories and texts come to mind readily but I was surprised to find so much on this subject.  I feel that I have only scratched the surface!

I began to think (just as I did while searching for texts of hospitality) that God must have felt this was such an important subject since sin entered this small blue planet that he must have put it in every book of the Bible. 

The reader may find other texts on the subject.  These are presented here to encourage, instruct, find healing, make aware, and whet minds to search further.
