The Place Where the Heart First Opened – Lydia Memorial Church

A small space that is neither grand nor extravagant. Yet, within it lies a profound and quiet resonance. This is Lydia, the first European woman to become a Christian, who confessed her faith after hearing Paul's gospel. This church commemorates her, and it is the place where faith first blossomed. 🙏✨ The gentle sound of water flowing through the valley, sunlight streaming under the olive trees, and a single stone engraved with a prayer. Everything quietly and deeply etched itself into my heart. 💭🍃 ‘The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message’ (Acts 16:14) Just standing in the place where these words came to life made this day hold a special meaning. Not just a fleeting moment, but a space where faith began. Lydia Memorial Church quietly opened the door to my heart as well. ⛅💜
