Dear Albert:
“GLORY BE TO GOD”, indeed, for your testimony “from hopeless life to hopeful life.”
You vibrate: “I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation” (Psalm 40:10).
Your “mum” must be so very proud of you for your achievements and help spread His Gospel, too. Blessed is she from U.S.A. to reach out to you in Nairobi, Kenya, to be His disciple: (Jesus Said) “I am the Good Shepherd…And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with One Shepherd” (John 10:14-16).
Truly, “And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us” (Romans 5:5); For
“the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, and his faithfulness to all generations” (Psalm 100:5).
I share your way of life to “be trusting in the Lord and practising good”, for only then am I liberated from any and all mundane wants of life, and am enriched overwhelmingly with His Grace, Love, Joy and Peace, and thus “fulfill the desire of our soul”.
Thank you.
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless you in green pastures;
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
