Ephesians 1:15-16
15I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason 16I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus. What a wonderful compliment! What a great statement. And I love even more that it’s followed with “your love toward all the saints.” It makes me think of the many ways that we show our love “toward all the saints.” We feed and shelter people. We are kind. We gather for prayer. We support one another. We provide assistance where needed. We listen.
And for all of these things (and many more!) we give thanks. But you know what else is incredibly helpful about these verses? The reminder that because of these things, prayer was lifted – prayer and thanksgiving that did not cease. Hear these words and know that someone prays for you in your faith and love toward the saints. Who will you pray for today?
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
