Dear To Me - 1 Thessalonians 2:8

1 Thessalonians 2:8 ESV 

So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

Paul speaks to the Thessalonians words that could have been spoken by God to all of us. 

Being affectionately desirous of you, I Am ready to share with you not only my gospel, but of My own Self, because you are very dear to me. 

And so it is. 

Amen
