Lastly…
Philippians 1:3-6 (NIV)
3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. 4 Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, 5 for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. 6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
Philippians 1:10 (NLT)
10 For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.
Paul’s loving greeting to the believers in Philippi gives us pause… 1) that we could have the privilege of your prayers for us, and ours for you as partners, 2) that God continues a good work within us and will continue until the day He returns, 3) that we will not forget what really matters in this short journey of life on earth.
EN SU SERVICIO,
Don and Ilene
