1 Thessalonians 5:12-24

1 Thessalonians 5:12-24 
English Standard Version 

  Being a Christian entails a lot of responsibilities, but also just one large responsibility.  The charge for all of us is to treat each individual with care, regardless of their station in life.  This isn't easy -- I think much of the neglect happens simply due to our frantic pace of life.  We're sometimes moving too quickly to properly care for one another.  So take a deep breath in your interactions and genuinely listen to the person in front of you, and love them -- sometimes that may mean that you only listen, while other times you may need to confront or hold them accountable (just remember that's a two way street!).  
  God is at work in you!  Only God can sanctify us completely, and so may we look forward with hope to the return of Christ, trusting in the faithfulness of God!
