Paul's Love Letter

I remember my first love letters. I opened the envelope slowly because I wanted to cherish the experience. When I first touched the pieces of paper inside, I would not move my fingers from the spot for several seconds cherishing the idea that the man who loved me had touched them. It was almost like we were holding hands.

Paul's letter to the Thessalonians reads like a love letter. Here we are in chapter three and he is still talking about his love for them and how much it means to him that this love is returned.

If Paul, a human, loves fellow believers this deeply, how much love do you think your Heavenly Father has for you?
