Reading: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8

Hey, Mark! (I’m talking to myself. But if you’re also Mark, you may listen in. In fact, even if you’re not Mark, listen in.)

Take these three verse fragments.

They will add spice to your life and to your perspective of yourself

And to your life with others. And to your perspective of others.

“We were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel” (4).

“We were gentle among you” (7).

“Ye were dear unto us” (8).

from 1 Thessalonians 2:4
