Embrace the Change: A Journey of Faith (06/29/'24) -Message

Embrace the Change: A Journey of Faith Dear Beloved in Christ, Today, I want to share with you a profound truth: Indecision is a decision. It is a choice left unmade, an opportunity unrealized. In the stillness of hesitation, our life's path remains obscured, and the echoes of unchosen destinies linger in our hearts. We often find ourselves at the crossroads, caught between what is and what could be, feeling the weight of unrealized dreams pressing upon our souls. Decide what kind of life you seek, what dreams you dare to chase. Then, say "No" to every shadow, every fleeting trace that does not align with that vision. This is the essence of purposeful living—the art of crafting a life with intention and clarity. Each "No" is a step closer to the life designed for you, each decision a brushstroke on the canvas of your destiny. Embrace change; do not push it away. Let it carve your soul with its relentless precision. In the dance of transformation, find your spirit's true role. Change is not an enemy but a sculptor, chiseling away the excess to reveal the masterpiece within. Remember, the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, will guide you through the night, illuminating your path with divine light. He will teach you all things, reminding you of the wisdom imparted by Jesus. Jesus assured us, saying, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you." This peace is a gift beyond the world's measure, a boundless, sacred treasure that transcends the ephemeral comforts of earthly existence. It is a peace that quells all troubles, wipes away every tear, and anchors our hearts in unshakable serenity. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor let them be afraid. In the embrace of change, find the life for which you prayed. Every decision made with purpose, every "No" that's true, leads you closer to the vision of the life you desire. Stand firm in your resolve, let faith anchor your soul. Embrace the winds of change; let them make you whole. For in every whispered decision, every choice clear and bright, you shape the life you long for, you step into the light. This is the journey of faith—a journey marked by courage, guided by the Holy Spirit, and graced with the peace that only Christ can give. Embrace it fully, for it is in this embrace that you will find your true self and the divine purpose set before you. May you walk in faith and boldness, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you in every decision, and may the peace of Christ dwell richly in your hearts. Blessings, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 29, 2024)
