Devos of the Week: 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20

“for a short time…being separated from you–in person, not in heart…” The Apostle Paul spent time among the Thessalonian Christians; his ministry there was fruitful and he grew to love these believers like they were his own children (1 Thessalonians 2:7ff).  Isn’t it a wonderful gift that God created us with the capacity to love in such a way that though there is distance in geography, there is no separation in the heart?  Who are the people you love who are distant right now?  Who are the people who love you from afar?  Give thanks for these people!
