Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you...
Philippians 4:1 NLT
Therefore...Ch3 is all about nothing compares to knowing Jesus, & pressing on, leaving behind whatever might hold us back, pressing on to a greater knowledge of and life in Jesus...
And he starts Ch4 with the same theme...Stay true...
There are days when we need this encouragement, when it would seem easier to give it all away...Stay true to God.
On the days when it makes no sense - stay true to God
In the moments when I want to give in to temptation - stay true to God
In the hard times, when you feel like giving up - stay true.
"I love you"

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
