I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge—God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. I Corinthians 1:4-9
Gratitude for God’s blessings on those we love is unending. There is no quicker way to a person’s soul than through those they love. Afflictions endured by loved ones or threats to their health or safety hits at the innermost place of even the hardest, meanest and evil person.
How much more joyous is it, then, when someone acts to heal or protect our loved ones? And no one does it like God does. In addition, He shows them His grace –or favor – by reaching out to them and bringing them into all His purposes and plans for their lives. He touches and sanctifies every part of them, including their speech and their understanding of the world. His gifts towards them are lavish and make them strong and pure. And He never stops blessing them, but faithfully nurtures as long as they hold breath.
