Embracing the Eternal: Living in Step with the Spirit (06/24/''24) -Message

Subject: Embracing the Eternal: Living in Step with the Spirit Dear Friends, I hope this message finds you well. Today, I am inspired to share some reflections on the nature of time, action, and the spiritual fruits that grow when we align ourselves with the divine. In our daily lives, we often chase after fleeting styles and transient realities, forgetting that it is our actions that truly define us. These actions are not just momentary choices but are the legacies we etch into the fabric of eternity. As the scripture reminds us, "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day" (2 Peter 3:8). This perspective invites us to see beyond the immediate, to understand the lasting impact of our deeds. Walking in step with God’s Spirit brings forth the fruits of love, joy, and peace—virtues that are desperately needed in our world today. Each decision to act with kindness, each word spoken in truth, each stand for justice, plants seeds that grow under the Spirit’s nurturing. Moreover, the call to "Wake up! Arise from the dead!" (Ephesians 5:14) is a profound reminder to rise from the complacency that often dulls our spiritual senses. It is a call to active faith, to bear fruit in keeping with repentance, demonstrating the transformative power of our beliefs in our everyday actions. Let us seize each moment as a sacred opportunity to contribute to a legacy of eternal significance, weaving our days with actions that reflect our deepest values and highest aspirations. May we continually seek to align our steps with the divine, allowing His eternal rhythm to guide our paths. Thank you for taking a moment to reflect with me. May your journey be fruitful and your steps be guided by the light of truth and love. Blessings, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 24, 2024)
