Timothy

 Timothy, understand this:

“Now a true widow, a woman who is truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God.  She prays night and day, asking God for His help.”

And Timothy, this will be true of widows, hope-in-Jesus widows, during your lifetime, past your lifetime, and in the year 2025.  I write this to alert you, you in your young years, to women, who with their whole heart, with their whole soul, with their whole capacity of hope, rely on God.  They pray, Timothy, for God’s decisions, next steps, cheer, answers, smarts — they pray for breath, for life.  They ask God for His help.  night and day.  They lay themselves down to sleep asking God to ease the way tomorrow, bring a friend, plan a joyful surprise tomorrow.  They raise themselves up asking God to hold them tight, speak a new living word, reveal Himself in obvious ways today. 

Hope-in-Jesus widows, know Him, Timothy.  Watch their devotion, learn about their simple pure faith, realize that for them, nothing matters like the promise of being in His presence and with their family forever.  This is their hope.  This is their focus.  This is why they pray for more more more of Jesus. 

1 Timothy 5:5
