Love is not an ecstatic feeling, but a deep desire which leads to selfless activity. Love urges people to give what they have, their time and energy, to bring pleasure to a loved one. That is true between individuals, within families and also in the family of faith. Paul started this letter commending the church for their reputation of turning away from idols to serve the living God (1 Thessalonians 1:9). Now he says that they also have a reputation for selfless, sacrificial giving to each other.
