       The presence of negative thinking comes for a spirit that lacks hope—one of which doesn’t see much good happening in the future. And yet, Paul in his unfortunate circumstances, even those which were directly caused by Satan himself, still retained hope. And even though he couldn’t be with the Colossians on the physical level, yet he had them in his heart and on his mind. We are familiar with this. We are aware of what it is like to be away from a person, the family, or a group of individuals, like a church, and still wish to be with them. In fact, this was the experience when departing from the church that was afore to mentioned, the Amish-Mennonite church. After getting to know the church members more and more, and various individuals on a more personal level, it was difficult. Lots of quality time had been spent eating at their homes, spending one on one time with friends, and the like. It certainly is true that the commonness shared, that of being serious about the Christian life had caused a mutual connection that was from the heart.
