May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.  Whenever I pray, I make my requests for you with joy.  And I am certain that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.  So it is right that I should feel as I do about of you, for you have a special place in my heart.  God knows how much I love you.  I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.  For I want you to understand what really matters.   May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.  Philippians 1:2-11, NLT
