Church, Honor Your Leaders (a meditation on 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)

Dear brothers & sisters, always -- but especially at this time of year -- honor the leaders who are working so hard for you, those whom God has given responsibility for urging and guiding you along in your obedience to Him. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!

You'll never know how demanding their work can be or the price they pay for their service; never pass up an opportunity to show them that their efforts among you are not wasted. Embrace them and their families so that even those who came to you as strangers will have no doubt about your love and welcome.

Also make sure each of you does your part to get along among yourselves--when you don't, it makes leadership a burden you can't imagine.

 

God be with you and bless you all! -- db
