Be a Refreshment

What would life be without refreshments?  Why, it’s the most popular thing at parties and most meetings. Think about it - what would ballgames be without the refreshment stands! Do you know anyone named Stephanas, Fortunatus, or Achaicus?  Neither do I but they are real people who made a mark on the life of Apostle Paul. "I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people." (1 Corinthians 16:17-18, ESV). What a powerful testimony of these ... biblical refreshments!  When God’s children love one another in the boundless grace and beautiful Spirit of Jesus Christ, it's a balm - a salve, an ointment, a spritzing of comfort and joy and peace to the soul!  Have you been refreshed lately? Better yet, have you been a refreshment yourself to someone? Be a refreshment!
