⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God, ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and perfect what is lacking in your faith? I Thessalonians 3:9-10

 In many of Paul’s letters he wrote with a sincere love for his brothers and sisters in Christ. In I Thessalonians he longed to be with them, to encourage them, to strengthen them, but he mentions that Satan hindered him and he was unable to go to them. He cared enough about their spiritual state to send Timothy in his place but he still had a longing to see them face to face so he states that he prayed night and day that he could come to them and perfect what is lacking in their faith.  It is amazing his level of love for them and so the question becomes for all of us in the body of Christ: do we love one another so deeply that our desire is to perfect what is lacking in each other’s faith?

 

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (Jas 1:22 [KJV])

I was minding my own business, in the midst of writing a 5 page paper on the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard when the initials for my magazine, WOW! (Women of the Word) popped into my head. Immediately following that thought were the words “With Or Without.” I have been, for lack of a better word, tortured by recent events that have been going on around me – from deaths to rumors to disturbing news – the full gamut of incidences and the full spectrum of emotions have surfaced lately. Lord, what does it all mean? I know that he isn’t going to give ME the answers, and why should he?
