"I Paul am writing with my own hand. I will repay – not to mention that you owe me even your own self besides."
Philemon 19
I rarely hear humor in Paul's writings. Usually he is discussing deep theological teaching or correcting some problem in the church which are serious issues. But in this verse he prods Philemon to accept Onesimus, almost in a jesting way – "You owe me one!" It pays to treat people good because you may need to ask a favor from them. Helping people builds up a reserve account of credit to draw against.
Today's Thought: Good works build up a credit reserve to draw against.
Have a "good works" day. Love you.
