Philemon 1:4-7Every time your name comes up in my prayers, I say, “Oh, thank you, God!” I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers.And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it.Friend, you have no idea how good your love makes me feel, doubly so when I see your hospitality to fellow believers.Lord, make me like Philemon. Let my love and faith I have for Jesus brim over to other believers. Let the faith I have show up in the things I do. Let others see Christ in it all. Let my love spill over into hospitality to fellow believers.Fill me with your love and your faith. My own is too small. Fill me with your joy and your peace. My own is too dull and lifeless. Fill me with your gentleness and kindness. My own is too harsh. Fill me with your grace and your mercy. My own is too conditional and erratic.Help me today to hang on to your hand as you guide me along this path. Let me hear your voice and obey you.
