But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.&nbsp;Therefore I am all the more eager to send him,&nbsp;so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety.&nbsp;So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,&nbsp;<strong>30&nbsp;</strong>because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.\"</p><p>(Philippians 2:25-30)</p><p><br></p><p>kevinmote@live.com</p>","author_name":"Kevin Mote"}
