1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 ESV  “2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, ... ” What would your life be like if you viewed people from this perspective?
