For some reading this devotional, you have suffered persecution for your faith in Jesus.
  For some reading this devotional, you have suffered pain and perhaps rejection.
  For others reading this devotional, none of these things have happened to you.

  How we respond to life says a lot about our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, doesn’t it?
  The church in Thessalonica needed to know Paul was praying for them to respond to the Lord Jesus as they endured trials and persecutions.

  May you be encouraged to respond to life in Christ by the message God sends you:
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 “Now may the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,
17 comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.”

Think about this!

Keep Christ Jesus at the center of your life
and you will respond to life
pleasing to Him.
