Passage Read: Philippians 1-2
Meditation Verses: 2:20-21

Thought

Timothy isn't just a messenger for Paul. He doesn't just blindly do what Paul asks him to do. He genuinely cares about the people he and Paul minister to. He prays for them and talks with Paul about them and remembers them and is concerned that they are walking with God correctly. He had the same burden and passion as Paul for the people they serve. He cares even when they are apart. That's a weakness of mine. How much do I connect with those who I left behind? How much do I think about them? How concerned am I for them?

Application

I may get busy with things right in front of me, but I need to continue to care about those we moved on from. They should still fill my heart and I should still be concerned about them. And when I can, I should check in with them.
