Phileomon 1:  17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.

I am keeping 2 verses here, b/c one helps explain the other.  Onesimus was Philemon's slave, but now he has become "more like a brother."  Paul sends him back to Philemon with this plea.

I am loving the feeling here.  Paul is asking Philemon to treat Onesimus differently on his behalf.  Paul is showing true Christian love.

Prayer:  Lord, help me to love as Paul loved Onesimus.  Let me treat those I love like myself.
Amen
