“The gift of my wife (Enzheng) from God is the greatest grace on our missionary journey. In the Lord, we are of one mind, praying together and suffering together. As long as the Lord is in our midst, even a humble mud hut in the desert becomes God's most glorious temple.”

Zhao Maijia · The Kingdom's Chivalrous Couple

Scripture

Proverbs 19:14 House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

Reflection

True grace is often not found in comfortable external circumstances, but in the divine companion and presence that God bestows. Zhao Maijia experienced the Lord's glory in a humble desert mud hut, just as Proverbs says, a prudent spouse is a special gift from the Lord. We often seek security in material wealth and comfort, overlooking that companions and members of the body who walk, pray, and suffer together with us are the most precious treasures on our heavenly journey. With the Lord's presence, even the humblest place becomes a holy temple.
