Gen 19 2-3: "My lords," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning." "No," they answered, "we will spend the night in the square". But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate.
Here's yet another scripture about eh power of generosity. Abraham was insistent - he found a way to be generous: what a challenge!
Gen 19:16 16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.
Here we see Lot unsure whether to act on the word of God, and God is so generous to him. He doesn't think 'fine, stuff you then', but his angels grab the hands of Lot and his family and lead them off to safety. This is a picture, to me, of God's great mercy. He WANTS to bless us and help us, so let's not fight against him.
