Philippians 1:7-8 7 It is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a very special place in my heart. We have shared together the blessings of God, both when I was in prison and when I was out, defending the truth and telling others the Good News. 8 God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus.
(NLT)
Do other fellow Christians have a very special place in your heart? Do all those who believe in Christ Jesus have a special place in your heart? Do you share the blessings of God with others or do you keep it to yourself? Are you defending the truth and telling others the Good News? Do you love others as God loves?
Paul had a deep and compassionate love for the people of Philippians. They shared in everything. They shared love, blessings, sufferings and witnessing. Have we forgotten how to love as God loves? Do we long for others with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus? Our lives are to be completely connected and intertwined with Christ Jesus. Christ must be all. Christ must come first. Christ must be the driving force of our lives. For He gave all for us therefore we must give all to Him. If we do not then we miss the mark. We should be defending the truth and telling others the Good News. When was the last time you did this? Surrender to Christ, give Him first place and share the blessings of God with a tender and compassionate heart like Christ Jesus.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
