Does your life radiate Christ's love? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the Apostle Paul say this about you as he did about Philemon: 'I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints.' ~ Philemon 1:4-5

Philemon's testimony was so strong that it stirred Paul to pray for him, not just every now and then, but always. His testimony was steeped in love and faith. Philemon was not a silent Christian, he lived for Christ and was an encouragement to those around him. Are those around us encouraged and refreshed in the Lord? Does your name come to mind when someone needs prayer or encouragement?
Instead of bitterness and complaints, replenish their spirits by encouragement, love, and a helpful attitude. Live your life as unto the Lord! Don't just preach the word but Walk the talk! Be a beacon of light in the midst of all the darkness in this world!
