So I was reading Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians about a month ago and have found that a couple of verses have really stuck with me...
1 Thessalonians 1:2-3-"We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ"
I took three things from this that the Thessalonians were doing well:
They were
1. Working by faith
2. Labouring in love
3. Enduring because of Christ
What a great way to live!
