It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth — the elder's primary metric for assessing spiritual health is observable conduct aligned with truth, not mere intellectual assent or external piety. The reference to 'some' of the children introduces a note of realism and concern, implying that not all are walking faithfully and that erosion of truth can occur within communities. This joy derives from witnessing embodied faith, truth lived out in relationships and daily witness.
