This is What I Want to be True

We remember before our God and Father your 
work produced by faith,
your labor prompted by love,
and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 1:3

I have started the new Beth Moore Bible study, Children of the Day, this past week.  I know that I have read the above verse before, but this was one of those times where this was like the first time.  The words just jumped out at me, because this is what I would like for people to be able to say about me.  I am not saying it would be true today, but please, Lord, let it be true soon.   Let this be my measuring stick.  That I have faith that produces work.   That I love so much that it moves me to act.  And that my hope will help me keep going when it might seem easier to quit.
