2 Thessalonians
3 Dear brothers and sisters, we always thank God for you, as is right, for we are thankful that your faith is flourishing and you are all growing in love for each other. 4 We proudly tell God’s other churches about your endurance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and hardships you are suffering.

Would you like to hear God say to you …”Your faith is growing phenomenally; your love for people is developing wonderfully?”

Enduring hardship well will be a result of developing a flourishing faith and a growing love for people. It seems to me that my attitude towards how I am growing in love with God (faith) and people affects how i handle hardships. If my faith is strong and my relationships pure and right, the enemy has less to harass me with.

Let’s keep evaluating these 2 areas - our faith in God and our love for people. If we are doing well in these 2 areas, we will endure hardships and sufferings well.
