I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.
Philippians 2:19-20 NIV
Not only did Paul send Tim back, but he sent his best person, someone who really cares.
How would Paul describe me?
Would he even send me anywhere?
What was Tim's #1 quality?
That he cared. Really cared.
That's what we need to be kingdom agents, to be in the service of the King, is to have that quality...
To care about people.
To really care.
Lord may you make that my #1 thing, to love people like Paul, to care like Timothy.
Amen.

...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
