THE JOY OF GENUINE FRIENDS<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Philippians 1:1-11<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

I HAVE YOU IN MY MIND<\/u>
\n<\/u>Philippians 1:1-6 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1\u00a0 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: 2\u00a0 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
\n3\u00a0 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4\u00a0 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,
\n5\u00a0 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
\n6\u00a0 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART<\/u>
\n<\/u>Philippians 1:7-8 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n7\u00a0 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8\u00a0 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n

1 John 3:14 (ESV)
\n14\u00a0 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I HAVE YOU IN MY PRAYERS<\/u>
\n<\/u>Philippians 1:9-11 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n9\u00a0 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10\u00a0 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11\u00a0 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.<\/p>\n
