Grace for your spirit July 6, 2015

Grace for your spirit
But without your consent, I did not want to do anything, that your goodness should not be as it were by compulsion, but of your own free will.  Philemon 14

Paul did the right thing when he met Onesimus, the runaway slave.  He led him to Christ.  Paul did the right thing when he sent him back to Philemon, so Onesimus could make things right with his former master. Paul had the power to do anything, but he knew only the right thing would make things right.  It was the right thing for Onesimus, Philemon, and the church at Colossae to heal, forgive, and unite.  This reunion orchestrated by Paul would accomplish all of these.  Let's do the right thing so things will work our right for us too.
