Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. 

The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.

Philippians 4:21 NIV

Lockdown lesson #58

Don't go it alone.

My guess is that Paul wasn't terribly happy with the government - he was quite possibly going to die in jail where they are holding him.

But even there he had a team.

We all need a team. 

People who we can lean on, lean into when things feel tough.

People we can be honest with, disagree with, challenge, encourage, and love.

Life can be tough. 

Some days it can seem too much and there are less and less options. Having a team then gives perspective, and hope.

It would've been easy for Paul to have pulled back and pulled away from people, but he maintained relationships with people in his life during the tough times. 

Teams don't have to be big, they can be found in surprising people, but don't go this alone.

Reach out today if you need to.

The person who sent you this message today is on your team.
