"Dealing with Abandonment" - 2 Timothy 4:16-22

Here we are at the close of the Paul's second letter to Timothy, and the final letter we have on record. We began this study with a question, "What's holding you back"? As I think about our journey through this letter, I think the answer that would top the list for Timothy and for us is no surprise. It's fear....in all of its shapes and forms and varieties.

One of the fears that comes up often in life and in counseling is the fear of abandonment. This is a serious fear and many have been left "down and out" when they needed help.

Have you even felt alone at a time when you need help the most? Have you ever felt like your pour out to others and then when you have a need --- well --- no one is there! That can be incredibly painful, can't it? It can lead to an emotional cocktail of bitterness, resentment, and anger.

If you can relate to these feelings, then you need the message that's coming your way tomorrow. This is precisely where Paul is! And thank God for this Christ-like man to show us how to avoid the bitter feelings of abandonment.

How does Paul handle it? It's the same answer as to the riddle, "How do you keep someone in suspense?" Answer: I'll tell you but you have to watch the video first! So For Now.....
