Hello, again, Sister,
As I ministered in Colombia, South America, last week, I was taken by the humble way of life that is common for even the privileged. The Colombian people are experts at restraint, reserve and resourcefulness. There are those who have much, and those who have little.
Colombia is rich in natural resources and food supply. The people hold education in high regard. Their work ethic is exemplary. And in ministry, wow! These Dear Ones are wallowing in the Gospel of Grace. Colombia is fertile territory for Biblical Truth, and the people desire to learn more about Salvation.
That desire comes from God’s compassion on Colombian souls.
God’s compassion is profound, personal and perpetual. The psalmist spared no words when he described God’s compassion, “As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.” (Psalm 103: 13-14) The heart is the home where compassion starts.
When God pities us, He is pouring out His compassion on us—our frailty, our feebleness, our fault. It is a great place to be—in the heart of God.
As I taught the Book of Ruth to various groups of women, I realized more and more that God is smiling on this beautiful, colorful country. Sweet Sister, you, I and the ladies at the Bible study in the Andes Mountains are the blessed recipients of God’s compassion that saved us.
Please continue to pray for my ministry to OUR Sisters in Colombia.
Blessings to you,
Mimi
