He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly,
and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
Dear Friend
Just before we stepped into ministry, a wise, blind preacher offered us these words: "You must love the place and the people to whom God sends you." Those words became a compass for our hearts. We chose not to be overwhelmed by brokenness, for all things can break. Yet in that fragility, grace often begins its most beautiful work. We reach out to those waiting in darkness, carrying the light of Christ within us. His presence brings healing, strength, and restored dignity. Brokenness is not the end of the story; it is where hope is often born. Gratitude anchors us in this truth. We give thanks for both victories and hardships, where grace has proven sufficient time and again. Each encounter with brokenness is an invitation to witness God's redemptive love at work. Because Christ is our Light, we need not fear the future. He is already there, preparing the path before us. With gratitude and grace, we can step forward in love, confident that His presence will sustain us every step of the way. Proverbs 31:25 – “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” My prayer. Heavenly Father, my heart is filled with so much gratitude for what You have done that I can just praise You. I sing with joy when I look at all the testimonies of people who took Your joy and stood up stronger than ever before. You are my Light and no one can dim Your light in my heart. Thank you for each opportunity to reach out to broken people who wait in darkness for Your light in us. Father, I give You all the glory. Amen. Laugh without fear of the future.
