"I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers. And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it." Philemon 1:5-6
What do people keep hearing about us? If our name comes up in a conversation, what is the tone in which it was spoken? Do people recognize that we are true servants of Jesus? What actions or deeds can we do this week that will have people recognize Jesus in us?
Paul, even though he was locked away in prison, still heard great things about Philemon. The testimony of his good deeds had reached his ears. May our life be a reflection of those words of Paul: "And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it."
