Philemon:4-7(TPT)
Faith is a wonderful gift from God. It is by faith we are saved; faith in Jesus Christ. It is also by faith in Christ that we reveal our salvation by deeply and sincerely loving other believers. It is our love for one another that marks us as Christ’s disciples (John 13:35). God knows life comes with many challenges, so he has given us the ability to commune in his loving springs of living water, receive his love, and then turn to share his abundant love with others who need refreshing. In Christ, you can be someone’s refreshment, today.
