Morning — December 22 — 1 Thessalonians 1:3

and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Thessalonians 1:3True faith is not a passive state but a dynamic engine that manifests in tangible service. When the heart rests in the finished work of Christ, external actions become the natural overflow of an internal transformation. This synergy ensures that our daily efforts are anchored in divine purpose rather than human striving.
