Subject: Embodying Our Faith Through Actions of Justice and Love Dear Friends, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some reflections that have been resonating deeply with me lately, about the true essence of our faith and how we can live it out more fully in our daily lives. In our private moments of reflection, we often find that traditional celebrations and rituals can sometimes feel empty if they are not grounded in meaningful action. It's a powerful reminder that the divine calls for justice and righteousness, not just in words but as continuous forces in our lives—like waters that never stop flowing, like a stream that never dries up. This call to action is clear. Our faith should be expressed through tangible acts: providing rest to the weary, offering help to the needy, and supporting the poor. These are not just acts of kindness but are the very manifestations of our prayers. True faith is a dynamic journey of belief transformed into action, a path where belief itself can be a transformative power. As we await the empowerment of the Spirit, promised to bring not just presence but profound power, let us prepare ourselves. This divine force is meant to fuel our pursuit of what is just and right, making every act and every moment an opportunity to reflect the infinite potential of our faith. Let's strive to ensure that our faith manifests not in solemn assemblies alone but vibrantly through every step we take towards justice and love in our daily lives. This is how we truly live our prayers and embody the spirit of our beliefs. Warm regards, Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 6, 2024)
