Philippians 1:3-6 (personal rendering)

I love this greeting of St. Paul. So tender and encouraging. As I read it today, i thought of so many people that are important to me and the kingdom. I'm so blessed to have such great friends! 

When your name finds its way into my conversation and thoughts- i whisper, "Thank you Jesus."
When I pray, my spirit is drawn to prayers of good will and love for you. I pray for you because in this miraculous journey unleashed by the gospel you are not an associate, an aquantance, or a peer. You are a kindred spirit that touches my spirit and the Spirit of Christ. And that's what you've been to me from day-one all the way to day-now.  And we can both rest in His grace assured that our Abba finishes what He starts and you are no exception. You are a indeed a work in progress but He sees the end result and like a mastercraftsman, He will leave nothing undone.

I only thought the busiest people I know were the busiest people on the planet but they do not hold a candle to you. And yet in all of your hectic schedule, out of you FLOWS this PRECIOUS personal rendering from Philippians. I wish you had time to do the entire book and publish your renderings. I'd buy the first copy - keep it up as God speaks such beautiful thoughts for you to share! Such a blessing!
