Martin Luther King said the question is not, ‘If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ but, ‘If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?’

Paul’s describes deep, sacrificial love - but how often churches are full of niceness rather than love, acquaintances rather than brothers and sisters, pretending rather than sharing.

Do we love God with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our mind? What do we hold back?

Paul, Timothy and Epaphroditus showed in their own lives that it is possible to follow Jesus’ example - however imperfectly, we still need to try.

As we live like Jesus in humble, obedient service, as we work out what God is working in us, so together we will shine like stars shine in the night sky. And other people will see and want the one who makes us shine: Jesus Christ.

Finding joy in the journey begins with abounding in love - but not just any love: the love of Jesus Christ.
