Philemon 1:6-7 "And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God's people."
This is so important as we continue to grow and develop in our faith in Christ. It says; pray and put into action the generosity of your faith, and that is incredible to think about. We can enjoy all the good things that come from Christ and of them all the most incredible is ever lasting life. As I am at home with several fractures in my neck and back I am so thankful for what I have in Christ. I have life either way and the peace that has come from the Spirit in me has been incredible. When I start thinking of what happened and I start to get down I thank God and I am reminded how lucky I am to be able to walk and have a God that loves me so much and a Savior that surrendered everything for me and all people.
What I always try and relay to people is that our walk with Christ is not just for us, we get the benefits of eternal life and the peace but our walk is for others to see Christ in us and for them to see the love we have for people. Verse 7 hit the nail on the head, "Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God's people." Philemon got it and I want to as well, have a great day and make sure you are talking and praying daily and never forget to be thankful. Amen
