Hunger week – Day #6

Philippians 1

3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.

This verse really hit me this week.  The Love that Paul had for that church was deep and he always prayed for them with joy because of there partnership.  He said he had them in there heart.  I have to say that I was truly touched by this an encouraged because I really feel this way about the people God has put in my life.  The partnership that I get to have with the people in this house to carry out gospel is one that I am blessed to have.  I thank God for you!  I love the partners that God has given to me and I want you to know that you are in my heart.

I also want to encourage you with verse six as I was encouraged he who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it.  We have to know if God is author he will finish it.  If He is the one who began it then He will finish it.  We need to put our faith in Jesus and the unity that He has brought into this house by the spirit and watch Him carry out in us the vision that He started.  

I love you and thank you for partnering with me in the gospel and I carry you in my heart.  What a great fast!
