I Thessalonians 1:4 “For you know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction….” You and I are incapable of truly realizing the benefits of the Almighty God loving us.  Given all of our disobedience, it is amazing that God even desires to have anything to do with us.  For you and me to daily be blessed because of His love is something which motivates each of us to act as most appreciative adopted children of His.  Doing good works is the least we should do as our Thank You to our Savior.
