To the angel of the faith family of Watermark…
From the one who calms the storm (Mark 4:39) and guards and guides the paths of my people (Proverbs 2:8, Psalm 23:3).

Therefore, I know all the things you do…
I’ve seen you seek to harness the winds of my Spirit, to direct you and forge new paths with me, on my mission. You have trusted me as you’ve walked off well traveled places.

Do not allow your realness to erode with the winds of pride. Stop pretending to have it all together. Admit your struggle and wave for help. I am the one who truly rescues and loves you, as you are.

For those who are victorious…
I will give you my presence, which is the hope of glory, (Colossians 1:27) and you will be my church and be marked, so that those around you will recognize me in you. I will shine out through you. Many will find wholeness and life in me and you will live in the city of the Triune God as my beloved child. (Matthew 5:14-16, Revelation 21)
Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
