Today as I was having my quiet time, I came across this Scripture. I've read it before, but it has never hit me the way it did today. When I had finished, I couldn't stop reading back over it. As the afternoon progressed, just as Paul was using it as a prayer for the Philippian church, I began to pray it for my church, friends, and family. I thought that I would share it with you...
"God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God" (Philippians 1:8-11).
I wish I would have been able to write this myself, but it truly is my heart. I love you all, and am so thankful to serve Jesus along side each of you .

Just wish all pastors had the same love for their congregations. Our world would be different.
