We have all encountered situations where we were able to take on the challenges that were in front of us. Even though we can face life’s hardships at times head-on, we also know we would much rather face those hardships and walk through them, not alone, but with the help of other people. Of all the ways Paul chooses to end his letter to the church in Philippi, he chooses to highlight their empathy for him and how they shared his struggles. Even though Paul can do all things through Christ, who gives some strength, Paul was moved by the fact that people still came along side of him and gave him their support. Today we will dig into the topic of empathy and how we can be like the church in Philippi and have God-tuned hearts for the needs of other people.
