1 Thessalonians 1:1-4
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.
Paul addresses and greets the congregation in Thessaloniki with a blessing to receive the grace and peace of the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, and then He continues by writing somewhat of a testimonial of this congregation. He remembers their work of faith, love and their patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ - and this is what he thanks God for producing in this congregation's life.
Point to ponder: How about we take an inventory of the good things we see in someone's life, start thanking God for producing it in that person's life and then give them some positive feedback by bringing it to their attention? We all need some positive feedback from time to time. What if we do this for 1 person this week? Maybe the person who least expects us to do so?
So let's ask the Lord to open our eyes to see who He is and what He is doing in those around us.
