1 Thessalonians 3:12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
[New International Version]
The verse’s prayer from Paul asks God to help us grow in love for one another.
It emphasizes that love should not stagnate but increase and overflow, touching everyone around them. This love reflects the deep, selfless love that Paul and his companions embody in their own journey.
The importance of love is a defining characteristic of the Christian life. Love encourages us to rely on God to nurture, and love expands our capacity to embrace God.
