We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith. 1 Thessalonians 3:2
We begin this new week with the reminder that God sometimes sends us people who strengthen and encourage us in our faith, just as Timothy was sent by Paul to the believers in Thessalonica. Of course, sometime we are the ones he sends to encourage and strengthen others, so we must be ready to both receive and also give. Let us praise God for all those who are encouragers
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
