Dad's Ramblings -- Fellow Workers

"Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ, greets you, as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.  Amen."
 
                                                                             Philemon 23-25
Paul was not a one-man band. He was surrounded by people who shared his passion, vision, and burden for the Gospel – his fellow prisoner and fellow workers. There are people who think they don't need anyone else. They are self-sufficient. I'll admit that at times I have not been a team player. It seems so much easier to just do it myself. But the Church – the Body of Christ – functions best when the various members of the body cooperate together with their unique giftings to accomplish God's mandate.
 
Today's Thought: The wise person recognizes his need for the help of other people.
 
Have a "fellow" day. Love you.
