1 Thessalonians 1:3
"Remembering without ceasing your work of
faith, and labor of love, and patience of
hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the
sight of God and our Father;"
There is work which is inspired by faith. Nothing tells us more about a man than the way in which he works. He may work in fear of being chastised; he may work for hope of gain; he may work from a grim sense of duty; or he may work inspired by faith. His faith is that "this is his task given him by God and that he is working to please God in that task and not for men."
There is the labor which is prompted by love. Have you've ever been asked this question? "Don't you ever get tired of that eternal sewing on this side of life?" If you do, I pray your answer is NO! Because the eternal sewing during this life is this. "Work done for love always has a glory."
There is the endurance which is founded on hope. A man must keep his hopes. A man can endure anything so long as he has hope, for then he is not walking into the night, but into the dawn.

Amen!!
