Throughout Paul's letter, he calls his fellow workers and readers of his letters beloved. In Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy and Philemon.
If he mentioned it so often, perhaps we should take note because it indicates the types of feelings we should have towards fellow believers.
Confession time:
As an introvert, people exhaust me often and I am impatient and annoyed by them and I probably don't consider them one of my beloveds. But as I read through how often Paul called others beloved, I became convicted that I need to do better in this.
