Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Ti 1:4) “Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;”  Timothy was sent away from the imprisoned Paul because God’s people had need of guidance. It hurt Timothy to leave him and certainly hurt Paul who must have drawn comfort from this man’s love. In this life, the work of the Lord is to come first before ourselves and at times our own family. Why? The Lord God and the souls of others is why each of the saved are still on this earth.
