The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men.
1 Thessalonians 3:12
We often measure spiritual progress in externals. Is the person reading and praying daily? Is he faithful in attendance at meetings of the local church? While these things are good, Paul is concerned for true inward growth. This will be evidenced in unselfish concern for fellow believers and for all men--the lost world around us. Are you growing in love?
--Donald Norbie
May the grace of Christ our Saviour, And the Father’s boundless love, With the mighty Spirit’s favour, Rest upon us from above. --John Newton
