Rev. Koscoe Bryan is pastor of the Lydia church. - Keen-minded, thoughtful Soon Woo Lee. from Korea, became a much- loved member of our home and family. This young man was alert to new truth and ever seeking new meanings In speaking of my husband, he remarked to me one day, “I know in my heart I'll always try to be like him. He does not say ot us. 'Do these things.' or 'Must not do these ’. He just shows us by the way he lives. Long time 1 know God to be honored and worshipped, but never before do I know God to love Now, 1 know and feel love." By the way he lived daily, Jesus shwed us His faith in His Father. Jesus' constant companionship with God was evident in all Jesus did. Let us do all we can to increase our faith in God so that we will share all our daily doings with Him When our love for Him expresses itself in all we do and say, our influence points others to Him. PRAYER Dear Father, we thank Thee for Jesus Christ, who taught us to love and trust Thee. Continue to work in us and through us that those who know us best may see the glory’ of Thy face and come to know the joy of loving Thee and following Christ. In His name. Amen.
