Philippians 1:11 TLB: “May you always be doing those good, kind things that show you are a child of God, for this will bring much praise and glory to the Lord.”
This is Paul’s prayer for the people of Philippi. It should be our prayer for each other.
If believers are patterning their lives after Jesus’ example, goodness and kindness will follow. Jesus asks rhetorically, “If your children ask for bread, do you give them a stone?” Of course not! As a good parent, you would give your child something that would be helpful. And as a good Christian, we should naturally do something helpful for our fellows.
Note: Paul is extremely upbeat and optimistic as he writes this, considering he’s in prison and in chains at the time! He was filled with abundant hope for his future, for his life after this life!
