This morning I spent time in the book of II Timothy. The rich relationship between Paul and Timothy is so evident. Paul knows he is writing what will probably be his last letter to anyone. Timothy was Paul’s son in the faith. Paul knew Timothy’s history, his youth and how many times Timothy had messed up. Yet Paul simply would not give up on him. At the end of the book, we hear Paul’s plea for Timothy to come to him soon. Oh how Paul loved that boy.
There are moments when I feel Paul’s intense passion. His resolve to live out his call while in chains cries out out to every believer. This clarion call of sacrifice is not popular today. The call has been muffled by the roar of the world. Listen fellow servants...listen to the quiet yet clear voice of the Prince of Peace. Get into the Word allowing it to search out the hidden sin in your soul. Jesus will never give up on you and me. Jesus pleas for us to come to Him.

I love this book of the Bible, It’s Paul’s farewell letter as he is finishing his race, finishing the good fight. I love the part where Paul says that he is being poured out as a drink offering. When you pour a drink on to the alter you don’t have the ability to pick it back up, it’s all gone. Paul is not leaving anything, he is giving all. I want that in my life
