ASLC Devotions - Friday

2 Thessalonians 1:3 We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

I am by nature a cynical person. I tend to see the glass as half-empty. That's my natural way of looking at the world. I am a cynic by nature, but I'm an optimist by experience.

It's good for me to see people working together and serving together and loving one another and sacrificing for one another. And it happens all the time. I see it in the ministries of All Saints and I see it in the life of All Saints on a regular basis. I see people serving and helping and giving and sharing. I see people stepping in to offer a new idea or new excitement and energy. I see it every day. And it challenges my cynicism.

I must always give thanks to God for you, All Saints, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. Amen.

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
