Dear Children of God: Part 2

Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C

Sometimes, the Pauline epistles feel like we’re picking up in the middle of a conversation or perhaps an email thread.

Paul heard that they loved one another and that they loved him in the Spirit. He heard that they bore fruit, that they served and helped and healed and taught. He heard that they lived lives worthy of the gospel. And because of that, because of the love that lived in them and came forth from them, Paul praised God for them and asked that God continue to pour into them all that they needed to live.
