The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. — Philemon 1:25

But in the family of God, words should always be used to help and bless other people. What easier or nicer words could Paul have sent to Philemon to bless him than these? Let’s figure out how to say them again and again and again.
