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.
