“Only Luke is with me…” (2 Timothy 4:11).

Paul was in a hard place. Life was hard in a Roman prison. He must have felt far from the churches he planted and people he loved. Many folks deserted him. But one dear friend by the name of Luke was still there with Paul. What an encouragement that must have been! Let me ask, who do you know that may be feeling deserted and alone? Your brief visit and words of spiritual

encouragement might just be the most wonderful part of someone’s day. Do you have the opportunity to be a Luke to someone?
