“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

All,
This stands out because Pauls says, “may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all”. If our thoughts are on other people, they will probably not be on ourselves. How joyful is it when we are loving other people? It’s seems arduous before we do it, but once we take the first step and actually be in relationship, our perspective changes and we want the best for them. Loving others also takes our mind off ourselves. My mind gets me in trouble when I’m self-centered and it rarely leads to joy. Please pray that we and our friends love the people that are in our path today. Please pray for the men that are considering CLC.
