PHI 2:25²⁵Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. (Philippians 2:25)

Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor . . . and he that ministered to my wants.

Philippians 2:25²⁵Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. (Philippians 2:25)

The Apostle Paul appreciated this brother Epaphroditus because he served Paul during his labors for the Lord. He was a companion to Paul and when the Apostle needed something Epaphroditus got it for him. He was fulfilling the position of a “help,” as given in the letter to the Corinthians. You too can be a help. The Lord appreciates those who are a help to others just as much as He appreciates some of the more “glamorous” jobs. Be a help.
