A PREACHER'S HEART

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from this first day until now.
Philippians 1:3-5 (ESV)

Is there any one for whom you are thankful, for whom you give continual thanksgiving to the Lord? Perhaps it is your mother or father, or your children, or a teacher, or a coworker, or a friend who has been there with you through thick and thin. Whoever it is your gratefulness for that individual is a continual reason to thank God for his or her presence in your life.

Like you, Paul is grateful for the Philippians for their participation in the gospel from “the first day until now.” Their cooperation with him in the gospel is in the widest sense. It is anything from their sympathy with him in suffering to active labor in the ministry to almsgiving to any other way that they may have participated in Paul’s ministry.

I echo Paul’s words while I write to all of you. Your participation with me in the gospel ministry is such an encouragement to me and a continual reason for thanksgiving. Your prayers for our church, our ministry, and our community are a constant reminder of your godly and loving hearts. Also, your generosity with your time, talents, and tithes is a cause for much thanksgiving. Though economically times are tough your giving has increased 9% over 2007 and your faithfulness to the gospel remains unmatched. I thank God with joy for all of you “because of your partnership in the gospel.” God bless you!
