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 the first day until now.
Philippians 1:3-5 (ESV)
Who are you thankful for because they partner with you in the sharing of the gospel?
I immediately think of my husband who allows me time to write about God's love.
I'm also thankful for my Word Weaver's group who have joined together to create, not one, but five devotional books that have gone to individuals in other countries like Japan and Vietnam.
The Jesus Girls at my church pop to mind. They gather together once a month to encourage and lift one another up in the Lord. They pray together and dive into God's Word.
Plus, I am thankful for the organizations my family supports that take the Gospel to the homeless and orphaned in our state. These organizations work to meet the needs of the local people, our neighbors.
My gratitude for these who partner with me for the sake of the gospel cannot be expressed in mere words. I must remember to pray for them, to be ready in out of season for the reason of my hope, and to continue to partner with them, so that God's love can change lives through His Son, Jesus.
Father,
Thank You that we, as your children, never walk alone. I am grateful for all the individuals and groups you use to spread the message of redemption, here and around the world. Move me to share Your message of Jesus, everywhere I go.
In Jesus' name, amen.
