But you know of [Timothy’s] proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.
– Philippians 2:22
This father-child relationship is very crucial to the growth of every young Christian. It is extremely sweet because it is a relationship of life and love. A true father would even lay down his life for his child. Whoever has this kind of father is very blessed.

by Titus Chu, page 160.
