“I Trust An Eternal God [4:40]”
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.”

My Beloved Corrine, SYSN Volunteer, in Christ:
1. It is most heart-warming to hear your pastoral voice, besides reading your gracious comments.
2. Abby, the Program Manager, and her superior Team are, indeed, a Blessing to me, too.
3. You mirror the faith of Moses, which is “the substance of things hoped for” (Hebrews 11:1). Moses, “by faith,” went confiding in God; presevered, amidst all the trials and diffciculties, and led his people to be freed from bonages.
Truly “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form….” (Colossians 2:9-10 NIV).
The Word of our Eternal Father “became flesh, and dwelt among us….” In “His fullness we have all received grace upon grace” (John 1:14, 16).
And His “Grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness….” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Unquestionably, our heart, mind and soul, when not to control, but be “controlled by the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:6).
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10).
And the day will come when Manuel goes home. Then you call his friends and neighbors together and say, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep” (Luke 15:6).
May “our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, Who loved us and by His Grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope” (2 Thessalonians 2:16) be with you and Manuel.
Thank you, and please take good care.
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
