I Give Thanks For You

"I do not cease to give thanks for you," Paul tells the saints in Ephesus. Why? Because, "I have heard of your FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ, and your LOVE towards all the saints." Faith and love are the fruit produced by all of God's work in us, work that Paul has catalogued in chapter 1 as Grace and Peace and Blessing and Inheritance, and the guarantee of the Holy Spirit. And so we, too, give thanks for the ways faith has been apparent and love has been enacted, even in the last week in the folks who constitute NPC.
