If I am to Live in the Flesh

As we continue to look at Paul's statement of "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" We find Paul with a hard decision as he thinks about how leaving this world is far better because he will be with Christ, but he also recognizes by staying here in the flesh it would profit the believers at Philippi. What do we learn about our lives living here in the flesh? How can our lives be used to encourage and strengthen others? Most importantly how do you view your life for the purpose of living for Christ?
