From Mee To You
As I reflect on the past year, my heart overflows with gratitude for your heartfelt Christmas wishes and prayers. Your love and support have been a true blessing, and I am humbled to be part of such a caring community.
While I may fall short at times, I am grateful for your grace and understanding. The outpouring of love and support I received this Christmas was one of the greatest gifts imaginable.
One particular Christmas, during my street ministry days in Chicago, stands out. I had the privilege of sharing a meal with sex workers and drug addicts at the home of Carmen, a sex worker. It was a stark contrast to the traditional Christmas celebrations I was accustomed to. Yet, the love, hospitality, and genuine human connection I experienced there were unforgettable. This experience was a powerful reminder that God’s love knows no bounds and can be found in the most unexpected places, with the most unlikely people.
That Christmas renewed my commitment to living out God’s love in tangible ways. May we all strive to be more compassionate, understanding, and forgiving. As Jesus said, “As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.”
As we embark on a new year, let us renew our faith and trust in God. May we seek His guidance in all that we do and be a source of hope and love to those around us. Let us embrace each day with gratitude, devotion, and a strong desire to take on God’s mission for the transformation of the world, beginning with our own hearts. May we pray for the strength to live out our faith with boldness and conviction.
May God bless you all richly in the coming year, and may we all experience the fullness of His kingdom. Happy New Year to you all!
Your sister in Christ, Pastor Mee 미
