I appeal to you, 

instead, on the basis of love. 

I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus, appeal to you for my son, Onesimus.

Philemon 1:9-10 CSB

"Jesus was the greatest act of listening and of entering into the world of another that has ever been. 

He has called us to follow Him in his ways 

'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory...full of grace and truth'

John 1:14"

Diane Langberg

"God, let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong,

nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.

Show me where love and hope and faith are needed,

and work in me 

to help bring them to those places."

Paul entered in. 

Defended Onesimus. 

He was stuck in jail and used the only things that he had available...his words and his authority, and he used them not to defend himself, but the one who needed defending. 

Boz's prayer is a dangerous one. 

Will I pray it anyway?
