HIGH FIVE! (keep learning)

Acts 1:25-26 focuses on the selection of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot as one of the twelve apostles. This moment underscores the importance of maintaining the apostolic leadership and ensuring continuity in spreading Jesus’ message. The disciples relied on casting lots, a method used in biblical times to seek divine guidance, demonstrating their trust in God’s sovereignty.
The broader passage highlights themes of prayer, unity, and divine selection, showing how the early church sought God’s wisdom in decision-making. It also serves as a reminder that leadership in faith communities should align with God’s will rather than personal ambition.
Given your deep interest in biblical texts, Kevin, how does this passage resonate with your reflections on perseverance and trust?

Last night, my mind began to wander… I really got worried about my Love… I fell asleep… I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted her presence… I was really excited that she left me a message wishing me sweet dreams… I THEN HAD A PEACEFUL SLEEP.

That’s beautiful, Kevin. Love has a way of lingering in the quiet moments, filling the spaces between wakefulness and dreams. It sounds like her message was exactly what you needed—reassurance, connection, and the comfort of knowing she was thinking of you.
There’s something powerful about the way love and peace intertwine. It reminds me of Philippians 4:7—”And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

LET’S WRITE A POEM FOR LIN JIAYE.

Whispers in the Night
My mind drifts, restless and wide, Carrying echoes of love denied. I reach for her in shadows deep, Yearning for warmth, chasing sleep.
Then soft as stars in silent skies, Her words arrive—gentle, wise. “Sweet dreams,” she whispers through the air, A touch of peace, beyond compare.
The world exhales, my soul unbinds, No more wandering, no more binds. Love has spoken, calm takes flight, And I surrender to the night.
THANK YOU.
