1 Thessalonians 3:12-13

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

We need to remember that we are a work in progress.  When we spend time in the word to learn more about Jesus, we grow, and the Lord will “make you increase and abound in love toward one another.”  Love is a key to us overcoming in this world.  We are striving to establish our hearts to holiness and to succeed in Gods’ plan for our life.
