1 Thessalonians

“We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
~i truly thank God for all of you who have poured out into my life one way or other. praying that we'll all persevere in doing the works of love, in light of what the glory that lies ahead of us in Christ!


“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May He strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones”


Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”
~who says i have no ambition... my ambition to be contented with a life in peace... don bug me!!! wahaha...


“We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him”
~a statement of faith that might seem ridiculous if you don believe in Him.... but if you might stop a moment to consider that this may possibly be true, will you talk to a christian please?


“But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

“Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
~my prayer for us all... that we may be found pure and holy, set apart for our Master in heaven...
