We reflected on the journey of spiritual growth and the importance of humility in receiving God’s grace. The discussion centered on how trials, challenges, and moments of weakness serve as divine tools for refining faith and deepening our intimacy with God.

We talked about God’s anticipatory love—a love that sees and prepares for our needs before we even recognize them. Through faith trials and brokenness, God draws us closer to submission and humility, shaping us into the likeness of Christ. We explored how holiness is not something we achieve through human effort, but a state made possible through Christ’s presence and fulfillment of the law.

We also discussed personal encounters that remind us of God’s purpose in our lives, from moments of discouragement transformed by encouragement to unexpected affirmations of His plan through others. The meeting concluded with gratitude for the eternal and unchanging nature of God’s love, which continues to purify, strengthen, and sanctify His people.
