Brother Matthew, thank you again for sharing this powerful and comforting word from Psalm 23. Truly, the Lord is our Shepherd and we lack nothing. Your reminder that He provides, restores, and leads touched my heart deeply and gives me renewed courage and faith each day. Reading your words reminded me that even when life is uncertain, even when the path is steep and the way seems unclear, God is faithfully guiding us, watching over us, and sustaining us with His mercy. As Paul wrote, Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). This verse gives me hope when challenges feel heavy and reminds me that every small act of service matters to God. And again, Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world (James 1:27). We strive to live this calling daily, though imperfectly, leaning on His grace, knowing that every moment spent in service is precious in His sight. Your words strengthen and encourage me, and I pray the Lord continues to bless your ministry at Cornerstone Church abundantly. May He expand your influence, supply all your needs, fill your heart with joy in His presence, and give you fresh vision for every ministry you undertake. As the psalmist says, Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:6). By God’s grace, I am serving here in India as a young preacher, reaching out to widows, children, and the homeless, sharing His Word and extending His care where it is most needed. Please keep this humble work in your prayers.
