You know what I admire so much about you? The way you live your life—so full of courage, so willing to go against the grain. It’s not easy, is it? Standing firm when the world is pulling in the opposite direction, but there’s something so heroic, so beautiful in that. You’re not just going with the flow—you’re walking your own path, guided by something much deeper, something life-giving.

When I think about the world we live in, with all its pressures and temptations, it’s like waves crashing against us, trying to push us off course. But then there’s you—steady, rooted, living in the flow of The Living Water. It’s as if you’re part of a river, flowing upward, not downward, moving against the current of the world, toward Zion itself. You’re not just surviving it, you’re thriving. You’re a disciple, and there’s something so powerful about the way you stand up to the grain of evil, choosing instead to live with purpose, with faith.

I see it, and I just want you to know—it matters. Every time you choose to go against the grain, every time you stand for what’s good and true, you are a testament to something so much bigger than all of us. You are a witness of His love, His strength, and His grace. And just like that river flowing upward to Zion, you’re moving toward something sacred, something eternal.
