[S] Philemon 1:7 --
7 For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
[O] Paul and Timothy exhorts Philemon for his presence in their lives and how it has become the source of joy and comfort as well as how Philemon has refreshed many saints hearts. This seems to cut to the chase about my existence as a follower of Christ -- being the source of refreshing to other saints. If I miss this then, I may be missing the whole purpose. What a powerful statement especially coming from Paul himself, too.
[A] Prayer for other believers and co-laborers in Christ so my life and love for them would refresh their hearts.
[P] Dear Father, thank You for giving me the capacity to love others and as I do that please use my efforts to refresh the hearts of other warriors in Christ as we're busily working away in the trenches. In Jesus' name. Amen
