2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.  He called you to this salvation through our gospel, so that you may possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Take a moment today to thank the Lord God for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Consider their support when difficult times come and their faith that speaks blessing and encouragement to you as you live life alongside of them. God’s design for our lives is that we would live in loving relationship with one another as a response to His amazing love for each one of us. In Matthew 22 Jesus says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Built to live in community that reflects the love of Jesus Christ – it is right to praise the Lord for your family in Him!
