We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

1 Thessalonians1: 2‭-‬3

*Bernard newman tells how once he stayed in a bulgarian farmers home. All the time he was there the farmer's daughter was stitching.
Newman said to her "Don't you ever get tired of that eternal sewing?"
"O no! " she said " you see this is my wedding dress"

Work done for love always have a glory.
Yes, love never tires. The Word of God calls the work done in love for Jesus "the labour of love."
Prayer, word meditation, worship, good deeds, ..... may all be from our love for Christ, our Bridegroom ...


Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Revelation 19: 7‭-‬8

She shall be brought to the King in raiment of needlework; with the virgins, her companions that follow her, she shall be brought to You. With gladness and rejoicing will they be brought; they will enter into the King's palace. Psalm 45 :14‭-‬15
