I Thessalonians 3:11-13 - "Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you; and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints."
Praying the apostolic prayers are essential. Paul's understanding how the church needs revelation is paramount to our walk with the Lord. In this instance, we should make it a daily prayer to pray that our love would "increase and abound" to one another. In order for this to happen, God needs to supernaturally move on our hearts and first show us our great need to love the way He does. Then, there is the magnificent release of His Spirit within us.
Beloved, if we are truly born again and know Jesus Christ, all of His fulness dwells within our spirits. It is our responsibility to invoke Him in prayer for its release. This is the key to the establishment of "hearts without blame." The more we know about ourselves, then the more Christ can release His love to us and others through our broken vessel. This, my friends, is sanctification by with which we will see God (Hebrews 12:14).
