Love-People 13
Three generations of Andrews men loved being at the Superdome together in December.
They were with a lot of people!
Preparing to email our church connect group, I was drawn to the voice of Paul, who starts most of his letters this way.
“I pray that God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!”
You just feel Paul's love for the Church as he writes. Like here to the Church of Philippi.
“Every time I think of you, I thank my God. And whenever I mention you in my prayers, it makes me happy. This is because you have taken part with me in spreading the good news from the first day you heard about it. God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won’t stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns.
You have a special place in my heart. So it is only natural for me to feel the way I do. All of you have helped in the work that God has given me, as I defend the good news and tell about it here in jail. God himself knows how much I want to see you. He knows that I care for you in the same way that Christ Jesus does.
I pray that your love will keep on growing and that you will fully know and understand how to make the right choices. Then you will still be pure and innocent when Christ returns. And until that day, Jesus Christ will keep you busy doing deeds that bring glory and praise to God. Philippians 1:3-10
Amen!
