Today we are reading 1 Thessalonians 3. In this chapter we read about Paul sending Timothy to encourage the church and how Paul desires to see his dearly loved friends. “Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you, and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.” 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 ESV Who do you wish you could visit? We are separated from many family members. The most precious are our children and grandchildren. Paul desires to be with his children in Thessalonica. These verses are a blessing that Paul is pronouncing over the new believers. Next time you speak to your dear ones far away, say a blessing over them. Let them hear your voice asking God to bless them in all their ways. Pastor Tim
