            ☀️ Philemon 1:17-25

17 - So if you consider me a partner, receive him back (Onesimus, a runaway from bond service, a money or land borrowing system) as you would receive me. 18 If he owes you, or has wronged you, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand - I’ll repay it. Not to mention I’m your father in the Lord as well. 20 Yes, brother, I feel sure you will refresh my heart in Christ. 21 For I know of your good will, and I write, knowing you will do even more than I ask. 22 At the same time, prepare a guest room for me! For I’m hoping that through our prayers I’ll be able to come and visit.

     23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings, 24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. 25 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you!

            🌙 Matthew 19:1-12

1 - Now when Jesus had finished his sayings, he went on from Galilee to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 And large crowds followed him there, and he healed them.

     3 And {of course} some from the party of the Pharisees came to test him, hoping to find a reason to accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to send one’s wife away in divorce?” 4 He answered, “Have you read how he who created them from the beginning made them male and female? 5 And said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one’? 6 So they’re no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, man shouldn’t separate.”

     7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses say to give a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8 He answered, “Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it wasn’t so. 9 And I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, unless for infidelity, and marries another, commits adultery.”

     10 And the disciples asked him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it’s better not to marry!” 11 But he said, “Not everyone can do so, only those to whom it’s given. 12 There are eunuchs who are so from birth, there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have chosen to be eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who’s able to receive it receive it.” {Of the options, neither is a requirement. Healthy family as a building block makes for peaceful society, although never perfect until God has fulfilled HiS blueprint and sealed it.}
