Lord God, I thank you for the work You did in the apostle Paul and in Timothy - that You saw fit to capture their hearts for Your glory, and pour out encouragement and instruction to Your church as it was just beginning. We are grateful for their example and their model to us to likewise encourage, instruct, rebuke, and forgive each other in the body of Christ. Shape our hearts Lord to truly extend grace and peace to one another regularly, and especially as it is needed. We all need help, we all need more of You desperately! Make us the church that is Your bride! Amen!
