Today, I had the opportunity to meet two members of my online small group from China in person for the first time. Although we had never met face-to-face before, it felt like reconnecting with old friends. Over the years, we’ve shared so much of our personal lives with each other, and that connection made our meeting feel so natural and meaningful.

I’m deeply grateful to God for bringing them into my life and for giving me a curious heart and a listening ear to know them more deeply. I truly cherish the experience of opening others’ hearts and being a safe space for them to share. This feels like a new part of me, awakened and activated by the Holy Spirit.

Oh Lord, please keep my heart humble and aligned with Your truth. Let me continue to serve others with love and grace as I walk this journey with You.
