"Everybody Needs Somebody"

Scripture Reading:    
Philippians 1:3 (HCSBO) I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you,
 
Devotion And Meditation:
Even the Great Apostle Paul needed others. When he was ill he needed Dr. Luke. When he was in prison he needed Titus. For his travel he needed Silas. For his future he needed Timothy.  Just like Dean Martin sung, "everybody loves somebody, sometime."  How important are others? More than you think. A rooster minus a hen equals no baby chicks. Kellogg minus a farmer equals no Cornflakes. Without the nail factory, what good's the hammer factory?  Or the cracker-maker without the cheese-maker?...and you need people too!  The other side of the coin is...somebody needs you too. The young need your experience, and the old your care. The foolish need your wisdom, and the hurting your compassion. Anytime you withhold or withdraw what God's given you, others suffer.  Looking back over my life, I see where I've connected with specific people at every crossroad and milestone. Most of them the world will never know, but to me they were absolutely vital. Each helped me to clear a hurdle, accomplish an objective, or reach a goal. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today.  What would a "PBJ" be without the bread?  Who would PB be without Silvia?  She has been my balance for over 25 years; in times of feast and famine.  I LOVE you Silvia.  You indeed are the most wonderful gift the Lord has brought to me.  "to coin a phrase, 'you complete me'.  God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-sufficient. That's what makes it all the more significant, when He uses people like us. Almost without exception, His favorite plan is a combined effort all of us working for Him, and each of us loving one another in the process.
 
Win or lose, I want to make sure that I make God's name great

Galatians 2:20
