Many people may say “You DESERVE” this or that,

Maybe they sound right, being matter of fact.

Might be that they RESERVE the right to say that.

Mostly they (and we) WANT to believe that.

.

However, let us PRESERVE (and persevere) in NOT believing that.

However, let us not RESERVE our desire to SERVE.

Do we truly deserve ANYTHING? 

Or should we count as a blessing EVERYTHING?

.

If we so DESERVE, let it be in teaching and knowing that we live because God gave in Jesus’s SERVE.

And knowledge let us RESERVE,

That our Lord did ask us to PRESERVE (and persevere) our faith.

AND WE SHOULD SERVE – THAT IS THE LEAST THAT GOD DOES DESERVE, OUR SERVE.

.

AMEN

2 Thessalonians 3:1-13 NIV
Request for Prayer
As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

Warning Against Idleness
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat. And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
