6^th Easter Weekly Message

Dear Parishioners,

I hope you are doing fine! Me too! I am good!

Last Sunday we heard that the Lord has promised, “I will not leave you orphans.” But what about our present trials? We cannot go to church, go to work, go to visit families or friends, etc. because of the pandemic. What about evil in the world? How can we be sure that He has not abandoned us? The more we think about this, the more we are disappointed! We ask, when will circumstances improve?

Here is the answer. Jesus is not only with you; He is within you by the power of the Holy Spirit. He never left your side because He is in your heart! No matter what your situation right now, you can take a few deep breaths, calm your mind, and begin to sense Him. He is there inside you, ready to give you His blessing, healing, peace, wisdom, and joy! (The Word Among Us, April – May 2014, p. 62)

Try not to be discouraged. Stay focused on the larger vision that God has for you. Trust that the Holy Spirit is leading you, guiding you, and protecting you, whether you understand the reasons for the twists and turns in your path or not. We cannot always comprehend the bigger picture that God has for us, but He is a good God, and so we can always trust that His plan for us is better than anything we could ever come up with ourselves! (The Word Among Us, April – May 2020, p. 54)

Nothing can stand against God’s promises. Lift up your heart to the Lord always!

May God bless you, straighten your faith in His wisdom and love!

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Reverend Quang Vinh Chu, Pastor
