Yearning with Affection

It is good to be back after being on vacation for a week. While I was gone, I was reminded of the first chapter of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. He writes these such things: “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.” I have been praying for you and continue to wrestle in prayer on your behalf. I pray you are strengthened in your walk with Christ. I pray you are able to battle sin better today than yesterday. I pray you find encouragement in the loving arms of a Savior. I pray you remain faithful to answer the call of Christ in your life. I pray that our love for one another will abound more and more.

Whether you are having a good week or a rough week, please know that I am praying for you to find your strength in a God who never tires of meeting our every need.
