Paul doesn't ask for too much, right? "Give me your slave, Onesimus. By the way, I'm coming to your house. Get my place ready." Paul wouldn't be so bold unless the depth and quality of relationship were present. You can impose upon friends, but not acquaintances. Today, we would say Paul had refrigerator rights at Philemon's.
Do you have such a friendship? Whom can you impose upon? Has anyone recently imposed upon you? Why not? Could it be that your friendships are superficial?
