JOY 1 Thessalonians 3:8-10

For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord 
1 Corinthians 16:13-14  Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.

How can we thank God enough for you 
1 Thessalonians 1:2  We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.

in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 
1 Thessalonians 2:19-20  For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

Night and day we pray most earnestly 
2 Timothy 1:3  I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.

that we may see you again 
1 Thessalonians 2:17  But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.
