Let people know you need them

We need to let people that we need them and that we trust that they will be there for us. I have experienced this in many different capacities. There are people that you believe in, that support you and while deep down you know they aren't that reliable you have to believe in them and express their importance in your life and ministry.
Also, there are people who will do anything in the world to help out as long as they know it is helping. If I do something for a friend who never comments, never questions or shows any sign of it being profitable, would I keep doing it?

2 Timothy 4:11 Only Luke is with me, Get Mark and bring him with you because he is helpful to me in my ministry.
Timothy comments that Mark is helpful to his ministry. He wants not only for Mark to know that fact, but for the others to realize and watch his life so they can be helpful.
Galatians 4:13 - 15 As you know, it is because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you. Even though my illness was a rial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or score. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Hesus himself. What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that if you could have done so, you would ahve torn out your eyes and given them to me.
Do you know anyone that will do anything for you? Maybe even donate you an organ or risk their own life for your safety? If so you better make sure you acknowledge them and let them know how much they mean to you. Paul was good at doing it and always made sure people knew just what they meant to them.
So let people know today how much they mean to you and how much you need them in your life.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
