Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 2:
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.
20 For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.
22 But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
Everyone has the need to hear encouraging words and Paul was no exception. Paul spent much time traveling to various places in order to spread the Gospel with the occasional shipwreck, incarceration, and other such perils. He wrote the epistles by THE SPIRIT and was at peace about their content. However, he looked forward to hearing about the results. We all need feedback when we are walking out our calling day in and day out. Paul was sending Timothy whom he trusted because of Timothy’s character of service. Paul wanted a true assessment of the fruit coming forth among the Philippians.
In Romans chapter 12 Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:
7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.
8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other (NLT)
Words of encouragement and acts of kindness are important to relationships. Jesus came to encourage the world with Words of encouragement from FATHER. He spread the Good News and it continues this very day. Let us be sensitive to others and affirm their importance by expressing encouraging words. Look for opportunities on a daily basis to encourage others in a genuine manner. Take interest in their wellbeing and represent the Love of FATHER. FATHER will surely take note for HE is particularly fond of you!
