Greetings

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen. I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord. Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.
Romans 16:21-24

Greetings
The connection goes both ways. We are not alone. We will never be alone. Even when we think that all the believers have been destroyed and we are the only ones left, God preserves a remnant and he unites you to them. Even when you think the going is getting rough, Jesus is still with you. He walks in the valley with you and delivers you against every evil. We rejoice with the church he has placed us in and the faithful he has put in our lives here. We rejoice that his Word is preached to us and we are made alive in Jesus.
